Possible Obesity and Antibiotics Link

We often blame the obesity epidemic on the food industry, and while the increasingly unhealthy meal options definitely play a role, did you know that something as seemingly unrelated as antibiotic use in infancy is also a determining factor?

Children who consume antibiotics within the first 6 months of life are far more likely to be obese later in childhood. The best way to avoid this risk factor is to focus on prevention and effective botanical solutions.
