No shortage of anger here from lawmakers. what there tends to be is a shortage of action. you listened to senators after that hearing, they say what could be the tipping point is the fact they now have a whistle-blower who brought the receipts with her when she left the company, new troves of data, an ability to look under the hood so to speak of facebook and how it works. again, this is not necessarily a conversation exexplicitly about content, its about the rabbit holes that lead young girls a...

Care of our obesity problem in this country, which is a contributing factor. im sure you will agree. i want to ask you this, though, sanjay, because youre talking about your gut, when youre talking about your gut, you also specifically touch on the fans of microbiome. is that what youre talking about? >> the microbiome, yeah. the microbiome that is this sort of universe of organisms that live inside our gut and are very responsible for our immunity and for frankly many functions. they call it th...

I think, is very much within our power. i wanted to have a releal prescription on how to get there. >> we need to take care of our obesity problem in this country, which is a contributing factor, im sure you will agree. i want to ask you this, sanjay, because you were talking about your gut. you also specifically touch on the importance of microbiome. is that what youre talking about? >> the microbiome, yeah. the microbiome. so that is this sort of universe of organisms that live inside our gut ...

So it is purely the obesity itself that predisposes to the disease. and then we asked the question: what is it, then, that this genetic tendency has an impact on? which part of our biology, which part of our being, is being influenced by this genetic score for obesity? and indeed, we showed that the greater your genetic tendency to become obese is, the worse you perform on all kinds of tests of cognitive function. your verbal iq is less, your performance iq is less, your trail—making test is w...

Influenced by this genetic score for obesity? and, indeed, we showed that the greater your genetic tendency to become obese is, the worse you perform on all kinds of tests of cognitive function. your verbal iq is less, your performance iq is less, your trail making test is worse, your education is less. obesity itself has no impact on cognitive function, so you dont become stupid by becoming obese, but the genetic aberration that makes you lose control of eating behaviour has an impact on many o...

So you dont become stupid by becoming obese. but the genetic aberration that makes you lose control of eating behaviour has an impact on many other functions of your brain. so obesity makes you susceptible to other diseases regardless of your genes, but the gene which makes obesity more likely does affect your intelligence. the researchers then looked at the data from the other direction and asked: does your personality, and specifically your ability to solve problems, tell you anything about ho...
