The Wall Street Journal reported today that researchers have found a genetic test that determines whether someone will do best on a low-carb or low-fat diet. This is an interesting finding. However, the measure of success was weight loss only, so we don't know if other health factors were affected negatively or positively by either diet.
Really, I wonder at the claim of low-carb or low-fat diet prone genes. What kinds of genes are they? How do they express themselves? Do they correspond with certain populations?
I wish I had more information, but unfortunately the article was not very detailed and there was no link to the original study.
