Chemicals 'could be the cause of obesity' says Prof Frederick vom Saal, of Missouri-Columbia University, after experiments with mice and bisphenol-A

Extract:

"He told the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Francisco: "If you look at the increase in the incidence of obesity and the increase in man-made chemicals that have these kind of endocrine disrupting effects they absolutely parallel each other."

"At high doses, the chemical, used in CD cases, mobile phones, sunglasses and babies' bottles, can interfere with hormone balance. Campaigners have called for it to banned and linked it to several diseases, including breast cancer and diabetes."

The chemicals that are most likely to result in obesity are prednisolone and other medically prescribed steroids, HRT, amitriptyline and some other anti-depressants, and certain other drugs, often prescribed inappropriately and in high dose, often for too long a time, by physicians with inadequate knowledge of the potential adverse side-effects of the drugs. These doctors frequently fail to monitor the progress of these patients adequately or even at all! - And most crucially they fail to give the patient the VITALLY important information that these drugs tend to cause sodium and water retention leading to extreme salt sensitivity and morbid obesity, and so while taking the drugs no salt or salty food should be eaten.

Obesity is not caused by eating too much. - It is usually caused/initiated by salt sensitivity and fluid retention, and is best reduced by abandoning the calorie myth and concentrating on cutting down on salt/sodium intake and eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Dieting is potentially harmful. Lose weight by eating less salt! - Go on! - Try it! - See my website http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/
