How much did human genetics change in the last 100 years? I'm very much convinced that genetics plays a role, but surely it cannot be the cause of the obesity epidemic?
- burlesona 6y agoI think what changed significantly in the last 100 years is the abundance and composition of our diet. In particular the quantity of sugar added to everything, and the abundance of simple starches in our diets (in particular in the US where the "food pyramid" suggests that grain is the main thing people should be eating).
