Thus, further investigation is necessary to elucidate these dynamics, both in terms of study design and physiology, perhaps using more precise tools to assess diet or in more powerful studies of different design (e.g. intervention studies adequately powered to test gene treatment interactions).

Less amusing is what our weight is doing to our health, and Critser is sure-footed and clear in describing the science of obesity, especially the precise mechanism by which our diet has led to an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes.
