Are antibiotics making us fat?

I agree with Neville who sent me the link. He writes: “I rather suspect it’s over eating, the wrong foods, and or lack of excercise that is really making us fat. Still throw this in the pot.”
We start the show with the controversial claim that antibiotic use could be making us fat, and contributing to a rise in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. The man making the link is Professor Martin Blaser of New York University’s Langone Medical Centre and the author of ‘Missing Microbes: How Killing Bacteria Creates Modern Plagues’.
