Are Stress and Obesity Connected?

Study Shows Molecule Released During Times Of Stress Sets Fat Cells Free And Increases The Chances Of Obesity

I have been reading various versions of this study for several days now. The study was done on mice, not humans. But, apparently   there are a lot similarities in the way that we metabolize fat and react to stress (I listened to an in depth interview on the radio with the doctor that was in charge of this study). Anyway, here is the MD News version of the Stress-Obesity Study. 

Please comment below and tell me what you think of this research.
