A Treatment for Obesity?

Did you know that one in every three American adults are obese? According to a new study by scientists in Arizona there may also be a treatment for this rapid epidemic. Scientists are studying further the relationship between weight and gut microbiota. Gut microbiota are the trillions of "friendly" bacteria, in the gastrointestinal tract, that help extract and store calories from what we eat. In many of their studies scientist have found that the bacteria found in the stool of overweight participants are far different from those found in the normal weight participants. The scientists claim that if there is a real connection between weight and gut microbiota a treatment for obesity can be formed by modifying the bacteria. If this is true then the next step for scientists is finding out how to safely modify the bacteria in human clinical trials.

If you are Kierra and Adrion, obesity means you are fat. To get obese, people don't eat healthy food. I think you can't cure obesity.

Obesity is a medical condition that is actually a group of symptoms caused by being severely overweight. It is actually a huge epidemic sweeping the United States. Research and the studies accompanying them should be able to save the lives of these unfortunate people.
