He found that injecting mice with a strain of helpful bacteria prevented weight gain – even in mice that were fed the equivalent of an all-fast food diet. He joined In The NoCo to talk about why this could be a promising solution for obesity in humans.

A new study from the University of Colorado examined why – and found some surprising answers. Are your sleepless nights caused by biology, or shaky scientific research? We dig into that question today on In The NoCo.

The procedure is just a goal for now. Today on ITN, the lead researcher explains how she hopes to make it reality.

The George Mason study specifically focused on guilt, sadness, anger, fear and hope.
