Is this why everyone hates eachother today and is incapable of long term relationships? pic.twitter.com/KOefTH0EFY
Rusty Sashwaite adds,
Soybean oil ... destroys the gene that produces oxytocin"
Would you clarify a point? Does it a) mutate the gene, or b) attach to the gene downregulating it (aka epigenetic modification)?

Robert Sapolsky has done great work on this and other behavioral biology.
To paraphrase:
Oxytocin doesn't just facilitate our sense of belonging but also our aversion towards those on the outside.
