Genes that conquered cold blamed for fat

More insane research.

"Genes that helped early humans adapt to cold climates may be driving metabolism-related diseases such as obesity or diabetes in many countries, U.S. researchers said...

They found a strong correlation between climate and genetic adaptations that influence the risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of related disorders such as obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes."

And this still makes no difference.

Even the researchers admit that in the absence of more Calories in than out, there would be no problem.

"'We eat a lot more, we don't exercise nearly as much as our ancestors used to do, and these adaptations that made us cope well to a cold climate now make us prone to a number of metabolic disorders,' Di Rienzo said."

It is not the fault of any alleged genetic "adaptation."

Blame the irresponsibility gene.
