Closer to discovering how genetic flaws increase obesity risks
The mystery of a genetic flaw which greatly increases the risk of obesity in one in six people has been solved by an international group of scientists. A version of an obesity gene, called FTO, had been linked to a bigger belly, but the reason why was uncertain. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesI have another more simple explanation according with my own research.

The body adapts and learns and always will try to satisfy it energy needs in the easy way as possible.
Junk processed food is like heroin to the body and once the body had try it for a while become addicted to it because can turned it faster and without much work to Glucose (primary form of sugar).
The Glucose is the fuel that allows our cell from muscle and brain to work and are absorbed by the cells with the help of a hormone produced by the pancreas called Insulin.
People eating junk fast food or with high level of carbos as primary diet produce an extra work to the Pancreas as it has to produce more Insulin to force the cells from muscle to absorb more Glucose.
That way the Pancreas keeps Glucose to acceptable levels in blood (70 to 110 mg/dL) so at least the person makes physical activities that burns that excess of glucose in blood, with the time cells start to become resistant to the hormone insulin. This doesn’t happen in one day or one year is a long silent process that when you became aware of that could be too late.
So why a person get fat through this process?
Easy as the cells from muscles cannot take anymore Glucose due to resistance to Insulin the body activates others cell from the fatty tissue to store that fuel and are turned into Fat that keeps growing and growing.
The alternative system works until the Pancreas gets exhausted to produce too much Insulin with the time or all cells start to reject Insulin.
For me that is the reason why in some countries with junk base diet like MCShit’s, Poison Colas, fry chips, etc. have a lot of children fat and with diseases as DM2 being so young.
I know that someone will think and the Italians that eat pasta all day?
I thought the same question and I think to have the answer...

Sloth and greed? Subjective judgments of opinions of food dressed up as science.
Jul 16th, 2013 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1 No, you're wrong. The real facts are that argies are, congenitally, fat slobs. This explains much. As they get older, argie females become rounder. At the same time, the guts of male argies overspill their belts and hang down to their knees. There is a positive aspect. Taken together, the 2-inch argie dicks can't reach, thus eliminating procreation. It's why many older argie males go for schoolgirls, in the hope they can reach. It's not really paedophilia, it's desperation. The argie “answer” to intelligence. Genetically, argies are anal, criminal, depraved, degenerate, futile, greedy, incompetent, larcenous, mendacious, rapacious, stupid, vicious and xenophobic. None of these are “survival” characteristics. So all we need to do is wait. Given the way they like to spray chemicals on their crops and inject drugs into their livestock, it shouldn't be long before they kill themselves off. Let's hope they are successful!

Jul 17th, 2013 - 01:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you wouldn’t be so ignorant and stupid you would realised that the 2 countries with bigger percent of this problem are US and UK.
Because both perspire glucose and Diabetes for they ears thanks to the junk diets.
So you forgot the perfect opportunity to be quiet and not ended up looking like a typical English monkey.
Mexico is numero uno in fat fucks. But the reality is that SA is developing faster in girth and BMI than their economy. So whether you are 28.4 (USA)or 27.5 (ARG) 22.3 (UK hardly fat).....fat fucks are fat fucks. Hit the frigging gym where ever you fat asses live and do my eyes a favor. An hour a day is hardly difficult to maintain.
