The
most likely causes of the increasing trend of obesity
are poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyles.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence that
confirms rising total caloric intake in conjunction with
a lack of physical activity is the single most important
factor in the development of the obesity crisis. In
other words, we are eating the same amount or more of
everything, but exercising less, and- not to miss,
putting the blame on sugar in our diets!
The World
Health Organization (WHO)
in its report, "Obesity:
Preventing and Managing the Global Epidemic,"
concluded that the fundamental causes of the obesity
epidemic are sedentary lifestyles and high fat,
energy-dense diets. It did not even name sugar!
The
National
Health and Medical Research Council of Australia (NHMRCA),
reports "…a number of studies have concluded that
intake of carbohydrate or even sucrose has no
relationship with obesity, or that the relationship may
even be negative. Children and adults who ingest large
amounts of carbohydrate, sucrose, or both, have been
reported to be leaner than their peers."
