    The article says this genetic mutation (which is rare) only makes a difference of 10-15%. We're not talking about having to eat half as much while exercising twice as much. For me it would be the difference between 1900 calories per day (which is what I eat now) and eating 1600-1700.

    Apparently this genetic mutation has only shown up in the last 30 years and only in wealthy cultures? I suppose that is possible, but that is a crazy fast mutation. Usually evolutionary changes take tens of thousands of years, not 30.

    I smell a diet drug marketing opportunity coming.
    I'm sorry...you make too much sense. Therefore, you have been banned from the message boards.
