AMY1 gene and carbodyrate digestion and obesity - well, there's a thing.

Not that this will influence the fat-shamers, but this is pretty darned exciting:

I'm excited because this is like being lactose-intolerant (loss of milk-digesting enzyme in adulthood). Nobody tries to say to me that if I JUST TRIED HARDER I could digest milk IF I HAD ENOUGH WILLPOWER and REALLY WANTED TO and wasn't a SELF-INDULGENT LUMP.

It also means that now I know why controlled carb gives me the best results when I can stick to it (I challenge anyone, who wishes to try, to get an inexpensive restaurant meal without a whole bunch of cheap white starch making up most of it). Woo. :)

No, seriously: woo! :)
