Germs in the gut may help drive appetite, says new research into the link between obesity and bacteria.

Previous studies have shown that overweight people and normal-weight people harbor different types and amounts of microbes that naturally live in the intestine. To determine why, scientists are peering into mice.

This sound so simple Why hasn't there been more study done before?
I'm far removed from the medical field ,but the way to get samples would be easy.
Take all the stats of a individual, have them swallow a pill or pills that could go through the digestive system and come out the other end.I would not want to be the one to find the pill .But if it changed a persons life for the better ,there are far worse things in life we have to do.
Could each pill take a simple of a different part of the digestive system?
With extensive research in this area's ,they might change the world.
What other problem could they find and fix ,other than obesity, diabetes, cancer many other problems might start here?
We all should wish them good luck in their findings .May their fart fan work well.
I don't want to have to play around in my poop.But this article has given me something to think about.I sure hope we don't have to take stool samples to our doctors office .
