People with ‘sweet tooth’ gene have less body fat, study says

After analyzing the results, they found that people with a gene variation of FGF21 have less body fat than others. Previous studies suggest that people with this particular gene variation crave and eat more sugary foods than others. They also noted that those with a “genetic sweet tooth” have a slightly higher hypertension risk and also more fat around the waist than hips. This body type, known as the apple shape, can increase heart attack risk, especially among women https://www.myajc.com/news/world/people-with-sweet-tooth-gene-have-less-body-fat-study-says/RnjDzD4Q4lGWyZErzMz8GK/
