Why That Miracle Diet Won't Work on Everyone
IF the latest diet craze has no effect on you, you've probably got the wrong DNA.
For when it comes to losing weight, there are no one-size-fits-all instructions, and different diets suit different people depending on their genetic make-up, scientists say.
This means that while the latest miracle diet might help your friend drop a dress size, it could well be a fat lot of good for you.
Experts also said official weight-loss advice may not help as many people as hoped. Researcher William Barrington told a US conference: 'There is an over-generalisation of health benefits or risks tied to certain diets.
'Our study showed that the impact of the diet is likely dependent on the genetic composition of the individual, meaning that different individuals have different optimal diets.'
Dr Barrington, of Texas A&M University, fed mice one of five different diets for six months, including a typieven cal Western diet, a traditional Japanese diet, a Mediterranean diet, a high-fat low-carb Atkins-style diet or normal mouse food.
Importantly, he used four different strains of mice, to mimic the genetic differences in four unrelated people.
All were allowed to eat as much as they wanted and their meals were made as realistic as possible, with rice and green tea extract part of the Japanese diet and red wine extract included in the Mediterranean plan.
Tests showed their health varied widely, with some strains faring better on some foods than others
