Childhood obesity may be caused by changes in the reward centre of the brain

Researchers studied brains of over 5,000 children using a new MRI technique. They found inflammation in a part of the brain linked to food in some children. Those same children were also more likely to be overweight than other children.

Childhood obesity cause by BAD Parenting. Stop trying to make excuses to make the parents feel better. It is their responsibility on what their child eats and nobody elses.

It’s caused by eating crap and sitting in front of the tv. Hello?

In Phnom Penh, McDonald's wasn't allowed. Burger King was. All their plots are very near schools. Work that one out.

Not by eating too much then

I only saw really skinny people in those WW2 concentration camp pictures. Calories intake. Vs calories burned. Perfect. Ex of scientists being smart. But not getting it.

Poor choices and sedentary lifestyle are part of the problem, but another is the sleazy hucksters in the food and beverage industry and the way in which they seek to addict children to their products via OBSCENE amount of added sugar ,and going to extraordinary lengths to hide it

Parents to scared to let their kids out to play and not enough Healthy Home cooked meals are the main reasons in my opinion

No it’s caused from opening mouth and shoving in too many calories.

I do hate to be the person that eating bullshit like ' when I was a child' but when I was a child I never sat still football running etc etc we was given meals at meal times we didn't snack on crap. Sweets was a treat not part of your daily diet. Parents fix up .

No dummy it from not eating right and eating to much and playing on the computer instead of running and playing outside. Its not complicated. You eat to much you get FAT unless there's is a medical condition. Your brain changes everyday. Thank you DR Dudley 💯💯😁😁

Its caused by shoveling in waay to many junk calories and then spending all day sitting on their arses playing video games
