Obesity Clue In The Birds And The Bs

Actually, the article supports a "Stupidity Clue In The Birds And The Bs."

"Research by scientists at The University of Nottingham suggests adult health related disorders, particularly in males, could originate from the events that take place at the point of our conception."

Some people call this "genetics."

"Working in close collaboration with scientists from the Rowett Institute and SAC in Aberdeen, Dr Kevin Sinclair and colleagues at The University of Nottingham have shown that male offspring of B-deprived mothers were 25 per cent fatter and had significantly higher blood pressure than offspring of sheep given a healthy diet."

All they have to demonstrate is how weight gain is possible in the absence of more Calories in than out.

Perhaps their benefactors will pay for the research.

"The study received £556,000 in funding from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (USA) and their findings have been published in the journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America)."

The only problem these researchers face is that this is impossible to prove.

But they, and their underwriters, are clearly too stupid to realize this.

A defect in thinking this profound is likely from "the point of their conception," i.e., of genetic origin.
