Which actual culprits? It's all wind, and nobody knows about what's really making living things fatter and fatter.
I'd advocate more studies on lecithin, because it became absolutely ubiquitous about 40 years ago, in all the food actual poor fat people consume on an hourly basis: cereals, margarine, chocolate, puddings, cookies, etc.
- sosborn 5y agoThe actual culprits are calories. The list of food you listed certainly conforms to that simple theory.
- 8jef 5y agoWell, yes but no. That's the whole point of this discussion: how considering calories with sugar intake alone doesn't completely explain the obesity pandemic. Eating too much food never made most people that fat for such a long period of time, until the industrial food revolution that happened in the last 45 years. The real culprit for this obesity pandemic was introduced in our diet only about 45 years ago. Emulsifiers like lecithins should be looked at very seriously, along with other recent history additives.
- sosborn 5y agoPeople didn’t have access to calories the way we do now. Lectins might play a role, but the number issue is too many calories. Until a person recognizes that and takes action on it they will never lose weight.
