    Can't even correctly spell weight correctly for the web link, put me straight off.
    Then I open the bloody thing and I am met with "To what degree is a person's body weight affected by the ambient temperature and humidity? Do we conserve or release water as the climate changes?" Considering our bodies sweat in the heat I'd say the answer to the question is a given. :s What next? Not going to give it the time of day.

    I think there's something in the hydration / inflammation in the heat and lag in the body's adaption to dealing with water that may well increase scale weight temporarily

    ...I thought the kidney retaining more fluid, blood volume increase rational ...but it's temporary so my head thinks why bother about it.

    Interesting though
