Why Are You Fat? Fecal Bacteria And Obesity Are Linked, Study Finds
Obesity can be an inherited trait, and scientists may have gotten one step closer to discovering why.In a recent study conducted by researchers at King's College London, scientists discovered that some forms of bacteria are inherited after investigating fecal matter samples from more than 3,600 twins, BBC reported Monday.The stool samples were measured against six factors of obesity including body mass index (BMI) and different types of body fat.

New Link Found between Body Fat, Fecal Bacteria
An international team of scientists has found a new link between the diversity of bacteria in the human fecal microbiome and levels of visceral fat (body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity near a number of important internal organs and is linked with higher risks of metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes).The team, led by King's College London, found that participants with a more diverse community of bacteria in their feces had generally lower levels of visceral fat."This study has shown a clear link between bacterial diversity in feces and markers of obesity and cardiovascular risk, particularly for visceral fat," said lead author Dr. Michelle Beaumont, from the Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London.

Study Finds Link Between Fecal Bacteria and Body Fat
Researchers at King's College London have found a new link between the diversity of bacteria in the human fecal microbiome and levels of abdominal body fat.The research, published in Genome Biology, also provides further evidence of possible genetic influences on obesity, through heritable bacteria found in the fecal microbiome.Scientists found that participants with a more diverse community of bacteria in their feces had generally lower levels of visceral fat.
