Can’t Say No to Carbs? It’s in Your Genes! 🍞🍝🍚
Your love for bread, pasta, and rice might be thanks to evolution! A study in Science links our carb cravings to the AMY1 gene, which helps digest starch.
🧬 What’s the deal?
800,000 years ago, humans with more AMY1 copies could digest starch better. As farming began, these genes thrived—passing down our love for carbs.
🐕 Fun fact:
Even dogs and pigs evolved more AMY1 copies, sharing our carb-loving tendencies.
Next time you reach for that bread, just blame evolution! 😄
