In some cases, extreme higher levels of Li are found in surface waters in Argentina (520620 mg/L) 19 , Bolivia (700900 mg/L) 20 , Chile (14001500 mg/L) 21 , and China (5601300 mg/L) 22
Contact of nutrients with L-cells in the distal gut likely explains the prolonged duration of elevated GLP-1 during meals, and it might also be responsible for the typically observed increased levels of GLP-1 following gastric bypass and, albeit less so, after sleeve gastrectomy surgery [[211], [212], [213], [214], [215], [216]], because surgical repositioning of the distal gut more rapidly exposes the distal L-cells to incoming nutrients [144]
However, it is crucial to mention that the overall scientific evidence remains inconsistent
