Fat Gene? What Fat Gene, Gene Kelly wasn’t fat, nor was Jean Lockhart. Do you mean Phat Jee-Ene’ the girl rapper? She’s a married lady now.
We need more money to continue the research...
I’m afraid that genetics have a lot less to do with these things than the materialists would have us believe.
The gene was dormant until prolonged exposure to cathode tube rays.
That coincides with the production of corn syrup and it’s inclusion into every food we eat. Surprise. Eating stuff that doesn’t exist in nature doesn’t end well.
“Science” just published a paper from Johns Hopkins Medical School, which is usually ranked in the top 5 USA medical research labs.
Hopkins concluded that 65% of cancers in the USA are caused by random mutations during completely normal cell division.
The other 35% of cancers are caused by heredity or environment.
They did not provide a percentage for heredity, but, if it’s just 10%, that means that 75% of human cancers are very difficult to prevent, and, given current knowledge and technology, perhaps impossible to prevent.
I’m going to have to read the original research article.
The description here leaves me very dubious, and I wonder if the reporter misunderstood what the researchers actually said they found.
Genes are highly unlikely to change their function. Perhaps they actually found that a gene that had a function relevant to our past environment (dirty, unsanitary) now functions in an aberrant manner because that environment has changed (many are germophobes now). This is pure speculation; I have not yet read the article.
It’s called not getting enough exercise to burn up the calories you’ve consumed. Its not rocket even if they want to call it that to get more government grants....
Genes can turn on or off. During famine the fat gene probably turns on to store energy. I would venture to guess it’s stress that is turning this gene on and I wonder if our turning away from faith is correlated to stress?
How much would someone pay me to do the study?
American Samoa, weight gain, expression of diabetes II has been known for decades. This doesn’t seem revolutionary at all.
