Scientists Pinpoint Childhood Obesity Genes

Bulls**t.
For the first time, scientists have isolated mutations at two gene locations that seem to predispose children to becoming obese.

"We see a clear genetic signature to childhood obesity, showing that there is more than just an environmental component to this disease," Struan Grant, senior author of the research, said at an April 5 press conference.

Although known genes have been linked to adult obesity and also to extreme forms of childhood obesity, the newly identified genes confer only a modest risk of developing common childhood obesity. But they are "very common in the population," Grant added in a telephone interview.
There is nothing, including genes, that will result in overweight or obesity in the absence of more Calories in than out.

Period.

This research is K-rap and a waste of resources.
