> Absolutely. In fact as I was researching fecal transplants I came across a couple of interesting medical case studies in which obesity from the donor was passed to the recipient (which also underscores the importance of donor screening)

This is fascinating to me. I wonder if it would work the other way, that FMT could be used to treat obesity. I figure if FMT from someone with the predisposition for obesity can be transmitted, can whatever causes that predisposition be killed off by FMT from someone who is not obese, the same way it is getting the C-Diff under control.
