A genetic mapping study of intestinal bacteria shows that people with fewer and less diverse bacteria are at greater risk of obesity and associated diseases.
Individuals with fewer numbers of so-called ?good? bacteria are more likely to be obese and develop obesity-related ailments such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. That?s according to research conducted by the international MetaHIT consortium published Thursday (August 29) in Nature.
