Obese Epidemic: Political, Economic and Scientific
#40
RE: Obese Epidemic: Political, Economic and Scientific
Why are you blaming carbs? True, Dr Lustig blames Fructose (which is a carbohydrate), but why are you blaming weight gain on carbs?

As for exercise - an obese person has a higher BMR than if they were normal weight, so they're already burning "extra calories"...

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
