Obesity. Can be blamed on simply overeating and eating the wrong foods, or genetics & hormonal issues. This is a very interesting look at twins who both went on a diet - one cut out carbs, the other fats. Bottom line - the carb diet also cuts out fruit and veg so foods are limited to mostly proteins and this did not work well. This is why I always say low carb is good, cut out the sugar and white starches, but go for the whole food healthy carbs. The low fat diet was just as unsuccessful, as low fat usually means high sugar and processed foods. The experiments recommendation - avoid processed foods. Completely cutting one or the other is not sustainable.
