You just have to read this article its unbelievable i call BS On it!


www.cbc.ca...

Some severely obese people are missing a set of genes, a new study has found.

Researchers have found a small proportion of obese people are born without 30 or so of the estimated 30,000 genes in the human genome.

This deletion was not found in any subjects of normal weight, the team from Imperial College London and their colleagues in Europe, the United States and Montreal reported in Wednesday's issue of the journal Nature.



Makes you think if its the food that's causing it to be gone.

This is very interesting. I am forever frustrated that my brother eats 2 times more than me and he is a thin man. I eat half his servings and I'm 100 lbs overweight and I walk 6 miles a day at work.

I think it has got to do something with genes. A mutation, virus, or hidden genetic code.

I long for a shot or a pill that will make obese people normal.

I eat a lot.... and I'm small. I don't know how I do it. I just say it's metabolism.

this is gonna sound ignorant but i call bullshjt.

food and diet (and your lifestyle after eating) are absolutely why people are obese, ZERO questions about it.

if you are born with health problems or are inclined to similar health probelms that your mom suffers from it's because she ate a bunch of bullshjt while she was pregnant with you because women cave in to the dumbest cravings. NO you don't crave icecream and pickles, you crave sweets, salts, and fat, LIKE EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING and you are craving them because your body must encourage your baby to grow women just think it's normal to eat stupid stuff while they're pregnant for some reason.
