Treating Unborn Babies for Obesity

In the past four years, the rates of "sumo" babies, born weighing over 11 pounds, in the UK have risen 50%. In the US, last July a texas woman, delivered a baby weighing 16 pounds!!  These babies being obese at birth, tend to grow up and remain obese.

To prevent these babies from being born obese, doctors are now medicating them with diabetes medicine while they are still in the womb. How do they know which babies to treat? Their mom are obese. Not so shockingly, obese moms give birth to obese babies, they then raise those children, who become obese adults.
