1) Speakman J. et al. (2008) Thrifty vs Drifty Gene Theory of Obesity Thrifty genes for obesity, an attractive but flawed idea, and an alternative perspective: the 'drifty gene' hypothesis. International Journal of Obesity (2008) 32, 1611–1617 The discussion of thrifty genes and drifty genes, on obesity and diabetes. Suggestion made that the case for Thrifty genes may not be correct, but rather a different hypothesis is proposed

2. Cameron, N et al. (2006) Childhood Obesity Contemporary Issues, p154, CRC press, Taylor and Francis Group. Discusses how obesity relates very closely to Diabetes. Relates genetic and environmental factors and summarises the thrifty gene hypothesis .

3. Marchand L, The Pima Indians: Pathfinders for health, Obesity and Diabetes, Online resource: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/DM/pubs/pima/obesity/obesity.htm NIDDK research conducted on the Pima Indians for the past 30 years has helped scientists prove that obesity is a major risk factor in the development of diabetes. One-half of adult Pima Indians have diabetes and 95% of those with diabetes are overweight. Scientists use the "thrifty gene" theory proposed in 1962 by geneticist James Neel to help explain why many Pima Indians are overweight
