Anyway, I don't want to waste time trying to find articles on leptin... but you get the point dmp.
The fact is that when we get hungry, the cells in the body release leptin, this is recognized by the hipothalamus in the brain. Hipothalamus is a tiny structure that is more inclined with body homeostasis.
Anyway, the point is this : when there is an abnormality in the gene then the leptin produced won't be recognized, thus the turning on and turning off of hunger mechanism will not function properly... thus making the person eat alot or very less (depends on the circumstance).
There have been cases when a group of scientists corrected this abnormality in some cases... not sure who the subjects were ... but I heard that this is true.
The fact is this, obiesity is a body problem.
However, I did say that I do not think that homosexuality is a body problem, but a problem created by the society for the individual.
The individuals who are sensitive go through some abuse from their childhood, I know it is true, because every one of us can atleast name one person who was abused during during our high school or middle school or even elementary school years.
I think the child goes through puberty and this abuse/ teasing/ loneliness from the crowd at the same time, thus making him/her a gay or a lesbian by the mixture of these circumstances.
I think this is true in most cases (even though there are few people who go through 0 % abuse and still are homosexuals) , but in most cases this is true (in my opinion).
And Jimnyc, thank you, it was not my loss. It was a family friend's loss which happened an year ago. It is a custom to celebrate a type of a funeral party every year on the day of the elder's death.
