Are slimmer, more attractive men more germ-free? - Health - MSN Healthy Living

Great. Just one more stigma to slap on someone. Just because someone doesn't look like Hugh Jackman they're diseased!?

The finding gives credence to the theory that one reason women are attracted to fitter males is that these men keep bacteria at bay and are more resistant to disease, the Polish researchers said.

In other words, heavier, less fit men were more likely to carry these "bad bacteria" in their noses and throats than were slimmer, more attractive guys.

No weight-related differences in bacterial colonization were found in women, however.

You have to believe everything on the internet is true. I mean, it has to be, otherwise they wouldn't post it, right?
Thanks for this!
