American scientists from the University of Chicago have discovered a new type of bacteria that can provoke obesity when it enters the human body.. Experts are confident that the result of their research will allow in the future to develop an effective method of combating excess weight..

In the course of studying the intestinal microflora, scientists have identified a completely new, unexplored bacterium in it.. As it turned out, it feeds on fat and over time displaces other microorganisms responsible for the absorption of other substances.. Thus, a person gradually gets used to fatty foods, which leads to the development of obesity..

Now researchers are puzzling over how to normalize the balance of bacteria in the body of such people in order to bring body weight in order.. According to scientists, this discovery will allow finding new methods of treating obesity, which is increasingly affecting society..

Earlier we wrote that British scientists refuted the “obesity paradox”. This theory gained popularity a few years ago when researchers allegedly found evidence that excess weight is not the cause of the development of new diseases..
