Low-Cal Diet Can Offset 'Obesity Gene' in Children

Duh.

"Even children with an 'obesity gene' can keep a healthy weight if they eat a low energy-density diet, researchers here said.

Presence of the obesity-associated A allele in the FTO gene had no bearing on the relationship between dietary energy content at age 10 and fat mass at age 13 in a large prospective study, reported Laura Johnson, Ph.D., of University College London, and colleagues in the PLoS ONE online journal."

And why would that be, besides the fact that there is no obesity gene?

Because one must lose weight when fewer Calories are consumed than are burned.

There is zero genetics involved.

Period.

End.
