Metagenomic studies demonstrated that certain mixes of gut microbiota may protect or predispose the host to obesity.

I was searching pub med for effects of TV watching on child development and found this :giggle:

I don't know if this is the right place to post it, but it certainly got my attention.

A better questions is "Is obesity linked to serial napalming of gut flora with antibiotics, and parental inability to see that feeding kids on refined flour, sugar and coca-cola will ruin their gut flora, as well as their bones"?

Fascinating stuff Ema-adama! Thanks a ton for posting these links.

Oh and please do share stuff that you find on TV viewing and children. That is one issue I am interested in too.
