Obesity: Do Chemicals Play a Role?

 
"If you're overweight, there's a simple reason: You either eat too much or don't get enough excercise. But a scientist who is giving a talk at Colby College this week says it may not be quite that simple. MPBN's Irwin Gratz spoke with Dr. Bruce Blumberg from the University of California at Irvine about his research into the link between chemicals and obesity.
 
Dr. Bruce Blumberg of the University of California at Irvine speaks at Colby College tomorrow morning on how chemicals in the environment may be contributing to the obesity problem. He's the guest at a conference co-hosted by the Environmental Health Strategy Center and Colby's Environmental Studies program. His talk is scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock, and is open to the public."
