People with sugar craving gene have less body fat overall, finds study

EXCERPT: . . . "We were surprised that the version of the gene associated with eating more sugar is associated with lower body fat,” said the study’s lead, Professor Timothy Frayling, a molecular geneticist at the University of Exeter. “This goes against the current perception that eating sugar is bad for health.” But he added this wasn’t unadulterated good news for the sweet-toothed, as even though body fat was lower overall it was more likely stored around the hips and belly, where it could affect the organs and cause high blood pressure.

Brain-boosting benefits of exercise can be passed on to children through sperm, study suggests
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/healt...97811.html

EXCERPT: Parents may be able to set their offspring up with a head start in life by exercising, researchers say, after a study found the sperm of fitter fathers carry higher levels of a molecule which boosts learning ability. Exercise improves brain function and memory, and lowers the risk of neurological conditions, like Alzheimer’s disease, in part because it increases the growth of connections between neurons in the brain. Now German researchers have identified that “microRNA” molecules which are known to promote this neuron connectivity build up in the brain, and also in the sperm, in response to exercise.
