"Government -- not fast food industry -- triggered fat outbreak," says
Dr. Udo Erasmus, author of "The Right Fat Diet".
America. Land of the free 32 ounce refills and home of the
triple Whoppers.
Americans are fatter than ever. Sixty-five percent of us
are now overweight. Overweight increases risk of cancer,
cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. The number of obese
children has tripled since 1980, and diabetes almost doubled.
And health costs associated with America's obesity are spiraling
steadily upwards.
Accusing finger are being pointed at America's
fast food chains. Should we lynch Ronald McDonald? Deep-fry
Colonel
Sanders?"Fast food is not the main culprit here," says one
of North America's leading experts in diet and nutrition,
Dr. Udo Erasmus. "It was the Government's advice that triggered
America's obesity epidemic. How did Uncle Sam pork-up the population?
"About 20 years ago, Government health authorities pronounced
that carbohydrates should be the staple of Americans' diets," says
Dr. Erasmus. "Carbohydrates, which are readily converted
into fat, were placed at the base of the food pyramid as
the most important food.
"The Government taught that "optimum nutrition" consists
of consuming less fat and more cereals, breads, & grains.
Since that time, thepercent of overweight in the US population
has climbed from 25% to 65%."
Science has clearly shown that carbohydrates trigger our
bodies to turn off "fat-burning genes" -- and turn on "the
fat-making gene".
"Fifty years ago we became a nation of carbohydrate eaters
and addicts. Had the Government put protein or fat at the
base of the food pyramid, today we would be looking at overweight
levels of only 10%," says Dr. Erasmus.
