There is no in-between. Some people justify binging or giving up because they hit a small road-block. This isn’t an all or nothing game. For example, when I was overweight, if I ate an unhealthy lunch, I’d go ahead and eat an unhealthy dinner since I already "messed up" the day. Or I’d say, I’ll start eating healthy on Monday since I’ve already eaten poorly this weekend. Every person at times eats too much.

Why do most want to lose weight? Most would say to look better. Looking better certainly is a benefit of losing weight, but this shouldn’t be the sole reason to lose weight. There is a 1000 pound gorilla in the room and it’s often ignored. Being overweight for a long period of time kills thousands of people each year.

I was a long time investor in decode and was always very positive in its future. I unfortunatly lost a good bit of my money and was very dissappointed. Think you guys have great science and truly hope that all your hard work eventually pays off.

I think that it is necessary when talking about diabetes to at least bring up natural treatments that have been shown to be efficient in managing high blood sugar. Many natural herbs can be including in a diabetics regimen that will help maintain a wholesome sugar level. Good day I loved your post.

Blood pressure and hypertension have been interests of mine for a long time, and I think that a solid, holistic approach is overall the most promising. You have to eat healthy, exercise, and regularly watch your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and then things should be not too hard. Good information, thanks.

The Basques, French and Spanish, are outliers in Europe. Of course there will overlap with both the French and Spanish Europeans. It is interesting to me that so far, of all my friends at deCODEme, not one fits within any European ethnic group clusters. I have no one near any outliers: Basques, Sardinians, Adygei or Russians. Most friends are located outside the large French cluster, I am Southern European and located near the Tuscan Italian and Bergamo Italian cluster. All I can say is more European ethnic groups are needed as clusters, this means research is needed and less reliance on the regular bunch of ethnic groups used in every genetic report, most of which are outliers and atypical of the bulk of Europeans.
