I don't know about "all cases" - thats awfully global. Supposedly there is a strong tendency towards obesity in families - its not entirely clear whether its genetic or learned. In the study with the mice whom "never feel full" there was a discussion about how most obese people do not have a sensitivity to the "off switch" hormone which signals fullness in normal people. It causes them to overeat. They are testing a drug which increases sensitivity to this hormone in mice. ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
