Bad DNA Reason for Obesity?


A recent British research study found out that certain children are missing portions of their DNA that cause them to overeat become extremely obese at a very young age. This interesting new development may cause many young obese children to find an excuse for their excess weight, however the study conducted determined that less than 1% of the some 300 children tested, all about 220 pounds at age 10, had this condition.

Although there are the few rare cases where obese children have a genetic excuse, most of the time the only thing to blame is the unfortunate lifestyle of the world's weighty adolescents.
