Bodybuilding Gene Leads to Drug That Inhibits Myostatin

The Myostatin Gene Controversy
Myostatin is a protein that prevents your muscles from growing too large.
For most animals, if your muscles grow too large your body burns too many calories, and you could die if you don’t have enough food to eat.
Fortunately humans have solved this caloric dilemma with calorically concentrated creations like Twinkies and Man Vs. Food.
