So our body produces Cortisol when we're stressed. And Cortisol increases gluconeogenesis (making of glucose) and decreases bone formation.
This probably explains why Asians, especially the yellow-skinned ones, are so short.
We are generally more stressed up than other people since young. Which causes a higher release of Cortisol, decreasing our bone formation, stunting out height a little.
And we tend to develop higher blood glucose level too because of the increase in gluconeogenesis.
Genius.
