Obesity CANNOT be reduced by cutting down on food intake, CANNOT be reduced by cutting down on calories. Obesity is NOT caused by overeating. - It doesn't matter how many doctors claim that obese people just need to eat less and move more. - It isn't true. It doesn't work. - There has never been any evidence to show that it works. Never. Because it doesn't. - It is a false assumption that is destroying the lives of millions of innocent sufferers the world over.
Obesity is caused by fluid retention in people who are sensitive to salt/sodium. - That's it. That's it in a nutshell. - Reducing obesity depends on reducing salt intake in the people who are obese. Preventing obesity depends on feeding children low salt meals, not the high salt meals and snacks that so many children eat. And preventing obesity also depends on curbing the reckless over-prescribing of drugs by our drug-obsessed medical profession. This is because many prescribed drugs actually cause salt sensitivity/fluid retention/morbid obesity and the multitude of health problems associated with obesity: high blood pressure, etc. In other words, doctors themselves are causing the obesity they chide their patients about! Doctors themselves are causing the chronic illnesses that are destroying people's health and denuding the coffers of the NHS.
