... that an abnormal basal metabolic rate can be caused by both hot and cold environments, including the heat from a fever?
- Hi Maury, I like your thinking but the problem with ALT1 is that body temperature (e.g. fever) is completely different from environmental temperature (e.g. hot/cold climates)—most people in subzero climates maintain a normal body temperature and likewise most fevers occur in normal temperature environments!—so I think the hook is a bit misleading, as least the way it's currently worded. 97198 (talk) 02:49, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
