Bad science meant to mislead the public about the true causes of obesity
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
When bad medicine comes to the surface, you get headlines line the one
below which seems to imply that a certain gene causes insulin
resistence. Of course, it's hogwash. The gene simply multiplies poor
dietary habits, such as high sugar consumption and excess caloric
intake. Insulin resistence wouldn't appear in any of the people
tested if they maintained a healthy body weight, followed a low-carb,
and exercised regularly. Don't let this research fool you: obesity isn't
a genetic disorder, it's a choice you make every time you sit down to
eat or get up to do something. The better you eat, and the more
physically fit you choose to stay, the less these genes have control
over the outcome.
The purpose of this sort of news (below), by the
way, is to convince the public that obesity isn't something they can
control and, therefore, sell them obesity drugs.
