Science Blog reports on the discovery of an appetite stimulating gene called GAD2. One form of the gene stimulates the appetite much more than the other, an in what should be a surprise to no one, the people with the non-stimulating form were more likely to have normal weights. I have a good idea which form my wife (who can go from starving to full in three bites) has, and which form I (who never feels full as much as painfully stuffed) have.
