Robert Lustig: Epigenetics and Metabolic Disorders in South Asians: Unraveling the Obesity Paradox
Short excerpt from a YouTube video discussion about a paradox: South Asians showing high rates of metabolic disease (e.g., insulin resistance) despite low BMI. Speakers suggest a possible link to historical famines—potentially those caused during British colonial rule—and mention starvation exposure in infancy as an epigenetic hypothesis. The dialogue is exploratory and framed as emerging thought not yet researched by the speakers.
