How Disinfectants Might Be Making Kids Fat
It's pretty obvious to most people paying attention, that kids today are staying indoors playing video games or obsessing over their phones way more than the generation before them. However, a recent study suggests that childhood obesity could be linked to, of all the things, various household products
It's quite the interesting theory, and sure to be one that's begging to be challenged, but according to a story by Newschannel 13, a recent Canadian study linked disinfectants to childhood obesity.
According to the report, heres how:
