Obesity

Hi. You seem to know what you're talking about with regards to obesity. Are you in research? I have been making small improvements to that article for a long while now, but so far I've been unable to push it to the level it ought to be on. I totally agree that we need to discuss fetal origins, probably close to the "thrifty genotype" and "thrifty phenotype" discussions that we already carry.

When referring to Pubmed abstracts, there is no need to copy the full URL. Just type PMID and the number (like this: PMID 1234567) and the wiki turns it into a link to Pubmed. For DOIs, you can use {{DOI}} ({{DOI|10.1056/NEJMcpc0802449}}. JFW | T@lk 12:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
