Genetics is a factor in excess weight but it is not the explanation
for the recent epidemic of obesity. While having
obese parents more than doubles a child's risk of being
obese, genetic characteristics of human populations have
not changed in the last two decades, while the prevalence
of obesity has approximately doubled.
This look like a good start, but I want to see more!
ReplyDeleteI think it is genetic susceptible along with learned behaviors. Children learn through mimicry of what their parents do. I think if you know you are prone to something then you are better able to better combat it.
