Ridiculous Study of the Week: Childhood Obesity and Diabetes
You are not going to believe this one but researchers found out that kids who are obese can get diabetes. Crazy, right? Well, here is one of the authors to clarify it for you if you don’t understand:

I really hope they dive deeper into this kind of research. My mind is blown. What will we learn next?
Great pic. Bet they could qualify for food stamps.
More funding is needed. I have read that obesity also can contribute to degenerative joint disease on Earth, but has anyone studied obesity and joint disease in space?
