Genetics of obesity

Discovery

 

In this special programme, Peter Evans examines our evolutionary past and our consumer-hungry present to find out how and why obesity is rapidly rising.

Is it simply that we eat too much and don't do enough exercise? Or are we following incredibly strong genetic urges to store fat - similar to those that allowed our forefathers to survive in times of starvation?

Peter talks to the scientists who are on the brink of understanding our urge to eat, and as a result discovering the ultimate slimming aid.
