It's not quite a magic bullet... because flipping genetic switches may have unintended consequences. Plus, in my reading of the article, I wasn't clear on whether or not flipping this switch would cause body weight to return to a "normal", all other things remaining the same. i.e. with the same consumption and exercise patterns.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoTrue. But I'm not so worried about unintended consequences. Nature flips bits all the time, randomly. We're in no more danger than average, trying it ourselves. Most bits are there so they can be flipped, and that helps in at least some environments. Probably this bit will just make you tend to burn fat more often. Which is pretty significant!
