Have you studied anything about people who live at high altitudes? The health effects?
One tiny snippit.
"We've known since the 1920s (that) if you go to really high altitudes you will lose weight," says Robert Roach, director of the Altitude Research Center in Aurora, Colo., which studies how hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, affects health and performance. "It was one of the major concerns when the British were trying to figure out how to climb Mount Everest, how to get enough calories to survive. There's been no exception to this finding. Every expedition that's gone to high altitude, people have lost weight."
Even when test subjects were placed in an altitude chamber for 40 days and allowed to eat whatever they wanted, they lost significant weight."
