In the news


Baby boy from China, he weighs 20 kgs. He isn't even a year old yet. He's been dubbed "Michelin Baby". Possible causes are genetics, an overactive thyroid, too much exposure to bisphenol A ( a chemical found in many many household products, plastics, canned food items and even formula containers) or hey, just a really big appetite.

He is currently undergoing medical tests- I'm sure we'll know the reason why he weighs as much as a 6 year old soon.




Though it's very important to find out why he has packed on the pounds rather quickly within a short period of time, let's hope the medical tests don't cause him much pain :(
