The other end of the weight spectrum: Very thin people
Researchers are exploring why some individuals are naturally super-lean and may struggle to gain weight. The causes of such constitutional thinness offer clues to the physiology of weight control.

If our environment promotes obesity, why do some people stay thin? 🤔

As the world focuses on its billion-plus obese citizens, there remain people at the other end of the spectrum who are skinny, often painfully so, but don’t want to be. This recent @knowablemag.bsky.social article explores the “real enigma” of a condition. knowablemagazine.org/content/arti...

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be. – Francois Jacob
