Genes and Obesity Discuss how lipids are involved in the generation and storage of energy Discuss fatty acids, oxidation, and energy yielded Discuss cholesterol, nutrition, and hormonal control Researchers have found an association with a gene labeled FTO and obesity. Is this something worth researchers continuing to try and develop a solution to obesity, or should it be up to each person to live a healthy lifestyle and be accountable for their own health/weight? Be sure to cite any outside...
