It's probably a little more complicated: caloric surplus marketed by corporations in ultra dense, cheap and convenient hits coupled with insufficient exercise and other health/Maslow's hierarchy deficiencies. One example how bad the situation is: orange juice (the orange flavor packs kind) has more calories than an equivalent HFCS soda bottle, but I'm unsure of the glyclemic relativity... it's still sugar in a bright bottle masquerading as a healthy alternative. Edit: here's a non-gov funded study, so could be orange, soda or other bias https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2049981 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2049981
