Reuters is reporting on a Japanese study that suggests a correlation between obesity and how many times a person brushes.

In a survey of the everyday habits of nearly 14,000 people whose average age was in their mid-40s, Dr. Takashi Wada of Jikei University in Tokyo found that those who managed to stay slim tended to brush their teeth after every meal.

Overweight men sometimes went more than a day without brushing their teeth, according to the study, published in the Journal of the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity.

There was no mention of whether or not flossing will cure baldness. . .
