Pollution can make you fat, study claims

Pollution can make children fat, startling new research shows. A groundbreaking Spanish study indicates that exposure to a range of common chemicals before birth sets up a baby to grow up stout, thus helping to drive the worldwide obesity epidemic.

The results of the study, just published – the first to link chemical contamination in the womb with one of the developing world's greatest and fastest-growing health crises – carry huge potential implications for public policy around the globe. They undermine recent strictures from the Conservative leader, David Cameron, that blame solely the obese for their own condition.

I think this is feasable. Obesity and weight gain in general can be caused be all kinds of physiological factors, and in some cases, mental too.

I think it's frightening that pollution has now added another string to it's bow, although some people think it's too easy to blame everything on environmental factors.
