FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “Women who may be considering a C-section in the absence of a medical indication should be counseled that their children may have a higher risk of obesity,” said senior researcher Dr. Susanna Huh, director of the growth and nutrition program at Children’s Hospital in Boston.
For the study, researchers analyzed health data of more than 1,250 mothers and their children admitted to Massachusetts hospitals between 1999 and 2002. The babies were examined and weighed at birth, at 6 months and again at age 3.
About 25 percent of the studied babies were delivered by cesarean section and the rest were born via natural delivery, according to the findings reported in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood.
An analysis of the data revealed that the c-section babies were twice as likely to be diagnosed with obesity at the age of 3 years as their naturally delivered peers.
The rate of obesity still remained significantly high among c-section kids even when the researchers took into account factors tied to childhood obesity such as high birth weight, mother’s obesity during pregnancy and the length of breastfeeding.
The scientists could not exactly define reasons behind their findings. They suggested that possibly hormones released during labor or the bacteria which inhabit in babies’ guts after birth may be associated with the risk.
“We speculate that the different modes of delivery may influence the bacteria in the gut at birth, and it is possible that gut bacteria may influence obesity by affecting the calories and nutrients absorbed from diet,” said Dr. Huh.
The bacteria may also stimulate cells in a way that boosts insulin resistance, inflammation and fat, she added. “Further research is needed to confirm our findings, as well as to explore the underlying mechanism for this association.”
