Fattening Pollutants? Study Suggests Chemicals In Mother's Blood Contribute To Child's Obesity

"Fattening Pollutants? Study Confirms Researchers Have S**t For Brains."

Babies whose mothers had relatively high levels of the chemical DDE in their blood were more likely to both grow rapidly during their first 6 months and to have a high body mass index (BMI) by 14 months, according to a team of scientists based in Barcelona, Spain. DDE, an endocrine disrupter, is a by-product of the pesticide DDT.

And what would happen if these kids were fed fewer Calories?

Poof!

Obesity gone!
