FDA: Epilepsy drug may be risky for Asians

Another nail in the coffin of the eternally hopeful, terminally stupid who cling to the belief that there is a genetic cure to their overfatness.
"Treatment with certain epilepsy drugs may expose some Asian patients to serious skin reactions, federal health officials warned Monday...

Because of the problem with skin reactions, the FDA last year recommended genetic testing for Asian patients taking another epilepsy drug, carbamazepine, sold under several brand names including Tegretol and Carbatrol. Doctors should also avoid Dilantin and the other medications for patients who have already tested positive for the gene, the FDA said."
Remember: over 6 billion people on the planet with over 6 billion individual genomes and no way to predict what genetic "cure" will work.

Or what will kill.

Which really is no matter since NO genetic "cure" will work for fatso-ness.

Because being a fatso is not caused by genetics.
