Is your gut bacteria making you fat? Don't have time to exercise and can't afford a healthy diet? New research suggests that you might be able to lose a few pounds simply by changing the kinds of bacteria that live in your gut, according to Physorg.com. This news may sound like an infomercial, but for some people, the solution to their weight problem might be as simple as getting a "bacteria transplant. " Or at least, that's the theory that Willem De Vos, microbiology professor at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, has suggested in a recent lecture. De Vos points to a recent study of obesity in mice, in which gut bacteria from an obese mouse and gut bacteria from a normal mouse were introduced into a sterile population.
Sterile mice that were implanted with the obese mouse's bacteria became obese, while the others remained healthy. These results shouldn't be too surprising, since it's generally understood that bacterial metabolism plays a major role in the digestive process.
