Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 I was on a website that had an article talking about the causes of obesity. One of the reasons listed was tonsillectomy. It went on to say that the tonsils have been found to be a major lymph node and once removed the body lays down fat as a coping mechanism. It cited something called a pig study. I did a google search, but did not come up with anything. Does anyone have any information about this? J. Sams MS RD/LD Quote
