We know the cause of obesity – and how to cure it

We know the cause of obesity – and how to cure it

Re: “China grapples with obesity epidemic”, Insight, yesterday.

It was shocking to read that there are now over 15 million children in China who are obese. The obesity was blamed on consuming too much fat and sugar.
May I remind readers that “The China Study”, which in the 1980s examined thousands of people in rural China who were on low-fat plant-based diets, found that “obese people simply did not exist” among this group.
Aside from people who are total idiots, there can no longer be any debate about what is causing obesity and what has to be done to end it.
