Tipton, KS | 2016/09/26/ - Scientists find new fat clues in feces
LONDON - Scientists in Britain have found a new link between the
diversity of bacteria in human poo - the human fecal microbiome - and
levels of harmful types of body fat.
In research that may help explain why excessive weight problems and
obesity tend to run in families, the scientists said high levels of
visceral fat - which is linked to risks of chronic disease - were
linked to having a relatively small range of bacteria in faeces.
People with a high diversity of bacteria in their faeces had lower
levels of visceral fat, according to the study published on Monday in
the journal Genome Biology.
....
....more studies were needed to understand precisely how gut microbes
influence human health and to explore possible new ways of preventing
obesity.
