Here is a summary of article I thought you might be interested in. Obesity is a problem of fat regulation says Robert Lustig, MD "The two behaviors that we associate with obesity… gluttony and… sloth are actually markers for the biochemical process rather than causes," notes Robert Lustig, MD in this 15 minute video interview. "The question is, which comes first?" Lustig continues. "[The gluttony and sloth are] a result [of this biochemical process that causes obesity], not a cause." Author Gary Taubes talks about the exact same thing in his book "Why We Get Fat". Lustig says that he believes the increase in obesity in the past 25 years is mostly due to an increase in fructose consumption which causes insulin resistance, which raises insulin levels, which causes the body to convert more calories into fat, which makes people tired and hungry, and makes them fat. Lustig says that the idea that people have gotten fatter due to a lack of will power is not correct. Here is the link to the entire article. http://www.fatnews.com/index.php/5065
