New  study reveals that some human beings could be more "adapted"  to a diet rich in cereals.

If some populations have evolved some kind of adaptation to cow's milk, it is  to be expected that similar arrangements occurred  to a certain extent with cereals.

While reading the above article , it came to my mind that what  science is aiming at,  is to find ways to get everyone  more adapted to cereals, or at least as adapted as the most adapted amongst us.
 
The guy who will  find a pill to increase the amylase content of our saliva, so that everyone  will run less risk of becoming obese, will become a wealthy man.

When this will happen, people will be encouraged to seek  treatment to improve their "adaptative factor" to  cereals.

And those with the lowest level of amylase in their saliva  will find it normal to follow a special medical treatment to cope with their "handicap" ..........
