The glacial age "has programmed" Europeans on love to fat food

The glacial age is guilty that modern people eat so a lot of fat food, — newspaper Daily Mail transfers referring to scientists from Aberdeen university.

Doctor Alesder Makkenzi together with colleagues investigated a gene which regulates allocation of a hormone responsible for appetite. Cages in which there is this process, are located in the hypothalamus. The given gene, and, more truly, DNA part, represents the original switch which depending on its version pushes the person to want fat food or is unaffected by it.

The comparative genetic analysis has shown that only 16 % of Europeans can brag of presence at the genome inactive versions of this gene. In difference, for example, from Asians among whom such gene is put in every third representative of race.

According to scientists, it speaks severe environmental conditions in which it was necessary to live to ancestors of inhabitants of the Western Europe, for example, during the Glacial age. How life expectancy at that time made only 30-40 years people simply had not time to be ill with adiposity and to feel all "delights" of a high-calorific diet.

Let's remind, recently at the Californian university have found out that, the more fat food we eat, the it is more to us than it it would be desirable.
