[QUOTE="BaconChiliBurger, post: 1572840, member: 10867"] [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6725107.stm[/url] Scientists working in Germany and the US say they have found a "fidget" molecule and if you have it in your genes you are less likely to be fat. Mice with the molecule are more likely to be primed athletic beasts, while those without laze around getting fat. It is the second time in recent months scientists have claimed to have located genetic material linked to body weight. Scientists in Britain said they had found a separate gene, dubbed the fat gene, linked directly to obesity. re you the type of person who is constantly fidgeting - playing with pencils and pieces of paper, your legs jumping around under the office desk as you type? If you are there is a chance fidgeting may be in your genes - and the good news is that you are less likely to be fat, according to the new research. The scientists found a slice of their genome they say accounts for the propensity to shuffle and shift. The researchers say humans have the same genetic switch shown in the mouse that pre-disposes some to fidgeting. Lead researcher Prof Mathias Treier says those who do fidget are getting valuable daily exercise even without knowing it. "We're spending energy by doing that - and this is of course one of the key factors in energy balance," he says. "Clearly people who have the more fidgeting phenotype are more protected against diet-induced obesity, for example, than people who are more calm." ... looks like all the nuns in school who used to belt you with rulers and tell you to sit still were wrong. yes I've just noticed genetic is spelled wrong ...
