Long, long article, thank you for posting this. It is very interesting and I agree, carbs and sugar do the damage. (cause the obesity)
plain and simple. It seems difficult to comprehend when the fact of the matter is, it doesn't have to be. We need to expend more energy than caloric matter we take in if we're going to lose fat/excess weight. However, what are your thoughts on the psychological/emotional aspects of food substance abuse?
Do you think that it is wise to say that an intelligent person who is obese may have underlying emotional issues that are preventing them to lose their excess fat, and if so, how does that person succeed in losing the fat?
Very interested in your thoughts.
Thanks.
> I've studied the evidence at great length, and you may be interested to know that fat doesn't make you fat. It's the carbs and sugars. Carbs and sugars cause your liver to create a particular type of fat that gets stored very efficiently. The fat is made from the carbs, in a process known as de novo lipogenesis, Latin for "new fat creation".

It used to be called adult-onset diabetes, but that name just doesn't work any more. Obesity and diabetes are explainable by portion size, or reduction in activity level, although those are confounding factors. It's the carb intake. Fat is an obesity neutral food, unless it's eaten with carbs. But carbs will make you fat, all on their own.
