(credit: Allan Foster / Flickr) In a 609-person, year-long study, dieters lost an average of about 12 pounds—regardless of whether they were trying to stick to a low-fat or a low-carb diet and regardless of whether they carried genetic variations linked to success on one of those diets. The lackluster finding, published by Stanford researchers […]

But it may take several thousand years before they are completely eradicated. Scientists at Cambridge and Colombia universities discovered that genetic variations associated with these illnesses were less common in people who lived longer. Those who survive to an older age are more likely to successfully pass on their genes than people who die relatively […]
