Obesity 'may be largely genetic'

"Research Stupidity May Be Largely Genetic."

"Pigs May Be Able To Fly," but they cannot. "Unicorns May Exist," but they do not.
"Becoming overweight as a child is more likely to be the result of your genes than your lifestyle, claims a study.

University College London researchers examined more than 5,000 pairs of identical and non-identical twins.

Their American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study found that differences in body mass index and waist size were 77% governed by genes."

Bulls***.

All they have to do to prove they are right is show one case, just one case on the entire planet, where someone became obese without consuming more Calories than they burned.

Just one.

Until then, shut up.

"Professor Jane Wardle, who led the study, said: 'It is wrong to place all the blame for a child's excessive weight gain on the parents - it is more likely to be due to the child's genetic susceptibility.'"

No. More bulls***.

What is wrong is to lie about the research.

Especially when lives are at stake.
"Children who are overweight are likely to be overweight or obese in adulthood, raising the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, stroke and diabetes later in life."
And when preventable child abuse results.
