Obesity in Children

We know that the number of Obese children has tripled over last 20 years. And we have followed the researchers reports as they seek for the answers. Of which there are many.

Only once before have I read a report just issued that blames constipation amongst children for the terrible increase in fat children.

Children with chronic constipation are about twice as likely to be obese as their peers without this problem, according to a report in the medical journal Pediatrics.

And why are children constipated ? One thing mentioned is the lack of ' fiber ' in their diet. Which aids in more calorie consumption daily.
