Number of Pages 8

This research paper: An 8 page paper discussing some of the discoveries associating obesity with genetic predisposition. Obesity is approaching “epidemic” levels in the United States, and along with its increase also are rises in incidence of diabetes. Diabetes’ high blood sugar damages organs, including the heart, kidneys and eyes. Diabetes is in itself a risk factor for heart disease, and we have known for years that high serum cholesterol (i.e., fat) constitutes a separate risk factor for heart disease as well. The purpose here is to trace fat’s progress and examine some of the factors resulting in some people being lean, others becoming obese while practicing very similar dietary habits. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
