Super informative per usual. As for @steemitstreamer mentioning GMO's - I would love to see some data because my opinion concurs.
GMOs were introduced on a mass scale in the 80's and we have seen the rate of cancer grow ever since. We have also seen people grow bigger and stronger. Look at athletes now compared to the 80's. Is that just gains in training technology....who knows.
Again, this is just my gut observation no hard data.
Looking forward to the next post. Obesity is an issue and interesting how this relates.
it's all anecdotes if you ask me, most non-gmo promoters and conspiracy theorists are antiscience.
I see mention of FTO and BMI, but none of GMO's, which are directly attributed to cancer and gene mutilation.
do you have any good evidence to support that claim?
This site has linked source to every claim. GMO kills people and it does it slowly and painfully.

Here is another one.

Monsanto has tried to sabotage the studies that prove GMO's dangers to health.

uhmm, what I mean by evidence is controlled studies, not conspiracy theorists...
First of all you did not have time to read any of those. Secondly that last link about winning defamation lawsuit proves that Seralini studies were accurate and Monsanto had tried to sabotage that because it tells the truth about GMO's dangers.
It is great to be able to read about DNA. That's something I always wanted to get information on and never took the time to do it. Glad that people on steemit did (are doing) it!
So, if I got it well, there is not one gene associated with obesity but several of them. They are all connected to two given proteins that control obesity? I suppose that other genes could be found in the future, couldn't they? This is so far only what has been identified by current research.
that's right. there are numerous genes associated with obesity.
they are not all connected to two proteins controlling obesity. I only mentioned two genes that code for two proteins that, if they are defective, may promote obesity through different mechanisms. I wanted to focus on two genes and some of their most encountered polymorphisms (mutations) because it may be easier to understand.
yes, this is like an open book, as more genome wide association studies are conducted and as more people are included (with their genetic sequences) more associations could be driven. this is all big data...
