Is Obesity Genetic?

In this YouTube video, Dr. Latt Mansor interviews Dr. Ben Bikman about the claim made by Dr. Fatima Cody on CBS 60 minutes that obesity is caused primarily by genetics, and they discuss the scientific accuracy of this claim. Dr. Bikman argues that such a claim denies individual agency and responsibility, and ignores the environmental factors and lifestyle choices that can contribute to obesity. They also explore the role of insulin resistance, the storage of fats in the body, and the impact of micronutrients on body tissue and the brain. Ultimately, they reject the idea that genetics is the primary cause of obesity and emphasize the importance of individual action in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
