Metabolic diseases -- in particular the increasingly prevalent type 2 diabetes -- are caused by a complex interaction between genetic disposition and unfavorable lifestyle, above all unbalanced diet and too little physical exercise. Researchers have now for the first time been able to show a relationship between the genetic make-up of an individual and differences in his/her metabolism.
