WOW!
Thank you everyone for all of your votes, the results have been very interesting to say the least.
What was supposed to be a very simple experiment has actually opened my eyes to some very interesting findings.  I’ve learned that most of us (myself included) think of ‘metabolism‘ using a number of assumptions, which may, or may not, be correct.
The first assumption is that a faster metabolism is a better metabolism. Interestingly, outside of fitness dogma there is no real evidence to suggest that a higher metabolism is a healthier metabolism. In fact, there is research to suggest (but not prove) that there is a correlation between an elevated Basal Metabolic Rate and mortality. However, I doubt there’s any relation at this level, which leads to point two…
As some of you rightfully pointed out,  we have very little concept of the magnitude of difference required to truly consider a metabolic rate, […]
