A new study finds a link between working mothers and overweight children, but the reasons for the link are unclear. Paul Lyons, a professor of family and community medicine at Temple's School of Medicine, says that he would like to see a more neutral comparison, such as a study of one working parent versus two working parents. "The assumption that the mother is the variable is an assumption that I think is flawed."
