TEXTO
“Researchers and
public-health officials
have long understood
that to maintain a given
weight, energy in (calories consumed) must
equal energy out (calories expended). But
then they learned that
genes were important,
too, and that for some
people this formula was
tilted in a direction that
led to weight gain.
Since the discovery of
the first obesity gene in 1994, scientists have found
about 50 genes involved in obesity. Some of them determine how individuals lay down fat and metabolize energy
stores. Others regulate how much people want to eat in
the first place, how they know when they’ve had enough
and how likely they are to use up calories through activities ranging from fidgeting to running marathons. People
who can get fat on very little fuel may be genetically programmed to survive in harsher environments. When the
human species got its start, it was an advantage to be
efficient. Today, when food is plentiful, it is a hazard.”
