    Here's the actual article for those who want it... It's available to everyone. The results are very interesting and the newspaper article does not present the info well.
    Thanks for posting this.

    Sorry but I think we dont need any more excuses in being overweight. I personally am owning up to it and making the right choices.

    Obesity is an issue that is effecting our entire society. These studies are incredibly important in finding out what factors influence obesity. I'm not saying it doesn't come down to personal responsibility for the most part, but if we can find out what the factors are, we can help treat those who struggle.

    Thanks for posting but I have done a study on my own.

    Why I'm fat = I like Doritos and donuts and I don't move as much as I should.
    Why I'm losing it = because I almost died twice, there won't be a third time to cheat death.
    How I'm losing it = NOT eating Doritos and donuts and moving more.

    That's all the research I need.
    Honorable degree given

    The problem with a lot of these studies purportedly showing a negative impact of a "high-fat" diet in animals is this: the "high fat" chow that these animals are given actually contains ridiculously high levels of sugar. The problem with interpreting these studies is that the diet's impact could be due to the sugar- not the fat.

    And epic way to blame sugar for the results of the study with no basis.
