Title: Orangutans Shed Light on Obesity in People
Summary: Orangutans eat a lot of fruit and put on extra
pounds for the later years. Commonly, humans over eat so they have found it
interesting to study orangutans. These studies have helped them understand
obesity. When the fruit is scarce they eat bark and in the urine they could see
that body was metabolizing the extra fat and burning fat for energy. They
believe there might be a link between why they store food and why we do today
(because we needed to in our past).
