[QUOTE="graj0, post: 674016"] Don't forget that as well as the Ob Gene as it's known and there's more than one, a virus has been identified as being connected to obesity and I have now read that there is a gut bacteria associated with obesity. It's too easy for the media to blame lifestyle which quite often is a lifestyle that is recommended by the powers that be. Without getting into the low carb debate, we're all different, I believe that the 300 gms a day recommended is possibly too high. The media just make it worse, as they did with HIV/AIDS, I don't even bother reading them any more. Steve Redgrave (rower), Larry King, Patti LaBelle, BB King, George Lucas. Lot of Americans there. Mmmmmmm? One of the other problems is with the way the pharmaceutical industry works and how research takes place. They already think they've got the answer to why there is a type II epidemic, obesity being the major cause, and that's why we hear about gastric bypass being suggested as the way forward. I'm not going to knock Bariatric surgery because it has it's place, I just don't think it's a cure for diabetes. [/QUOTE]
