New method finds networks of genes behind obesity

Another "you have to be a friggin' idiot to think they will find a 'genetic cure' to overweight/obesity" article:

"The researchers developed a new method of analyzing DNA and used it to discover that obesity is not only complex -- something already known -- but complex in ways that had not been previously understood.

'Obesity is not a disease that is the result of a single change to a single gene. It changes entire networks,' said Eric Schadt, executive director of Genetics at Merck Research Laboratories."

BTW, obesity is not a disease. Period.

"His team identified networks of hundreds of genes that appear to be thrown out of kilter when mice are fed a high-fat diet...

'What it says it that the common forms of these diseases are very complex,' said Schadt.

'Simple genetic tests cannot detect these networks,' said Schadt, who also works at Merck subsidiary Rosetta Inpharmatics in Seattle."

And if you think the hormone route is easier, you are a friggin' idiot.

And if you think the infectious route is easier, you are a friggin' idiot.

And if you think conventional diet advice, with its astronomical failure rate will work, you are a friggin' idiot.

And if you think that the brother and sister malpractice act of bariatric surgery and diet drugs will work, you are a friggin' idiot.

Clearly, it is time to call it quits on spending billions directed at dead-end fantasies and malpractice and turn the process in the right direction.

If you are serious about yourself, your life and your children, go here, learn what will work and why and do it right.
