| [Telegraph] Removing shoes when entering the house could help people stay slim, scientists claim. Removing shoes when entering the house and swapping carpet for wooden floors could help people stay slim because it prevents environmental chemicals accumulating in the house, scientists have claimed. According to new research presented at the European Society of Endocrinology in Barcelona, everyday products contain ‘obesogens’ which interfere with hormones and promote the build up of a fat in the body, Researchers at the Universities of Aveiro and Beira Interior in Portugal carried out a review into the current surveys and studies on obesogenic chemicals to see where people are most likely to come into contact with them. They found that diet, house dust, and everyday products such as cleaning chemicals, kitchenware or cosmetics are the biggest sources of contaminants. |

| #5 All the researched links to chemicals may be true, but these do not suggest ways to ameliorate the situation of an ever increasing average body mass in the population with its associated ailments. "This is how it's done" is what I would like to read about. |

| #2 I have the same issue as BernardZ. Since when are Hawai'ians skinny? That's not the stereotype. |
