    I'm not one to talk as I'm not the brightest of scientists around but this article just made me frown!! No disrespect to the author, but a few grammar changes are required... There is no solid proof that the FTO gene alone causes obesity, it certainly contributes... Why is it if you are American or European origin then you have a risk? Why not other countries...? not very diverse...maybe I'm just being picky... A study was carried out on 200 elderly people. 1. Elderly are surely already at risk of being susceptible to dementia, and surely the FTO gene is not the sole cause for the disease? 2. 200 compared to the 1000's carried out in the GWA study of the FTO gene. I'm probably in a very picky mood.. but I thought it best to point these out.... :/
