DESCRIPTION: Chicken consumption is associated with more weight gain than other meat.

The prior video that compared different types of meat and found meat consumption to be associated with weight gain even at the same calorie intake can be found at Meat and Weight Gain in the PANACEA Study (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-and-weight-gain-in-the-panacea-study/).

Why poultry though? We don’t know, but here’s some possible contributing factors:
• Obesity Causing Chicken Virus (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/obesity-causing-chicken-virus/)
• Does Eating Obesity Cause Obesity? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-eating-obesity-cause-obesity/)
• Infectobesity: Adenovirus 36 and Childhood Obesity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/infectobesity-adenovirus-36-and-childhood-obesity/)

Other surprising discoveries in the field include:
