Over past three decades. obesity rates increased fourfold among children and doubled among adults
More than 1 billion people worldwide are now living with obesity, with rates among children increasing fourfold across a 32-year period, according to new research.
Analysis of the weight and height measurements of over 220 million people from more than 190 countries shows how body mass index (BMI) changed across the world between 1990 and 2022.
Approximately 1,500 researchers contributed to the study by the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). Published in the Lancet, it found that over the period obesity rates increased fourfold among children, and doubled among adults.
It’s corn. It made Mexicans fat, so then they made Americans fat and now it’s your turn! LOL, once you had one you can’t stop! Keep it light…3 tortillas per meal, no more. A handful of chips per meal, no more. Cut fast and carbs. Drink probiotics and fiber containing drinks. Drink lots of water.
Corn was the staple crop of indigenous Americans for thousands of years. They cultivated it into the plant is is today. High-fructose corn syrup is the problem. That involves processing in a way it never was historically.
So “made Mexicans fat” is just some racist bullshit. Especially since Mexico has less of an obesity problem than the U.S.
Bueno mi chico, when high fructose corn syrup entro en el mercado en Mexico su hubo muchisimo cambio entre nosotros. Yo me acuerdo en michoacan donde naci que muchos de mis amigos y amigas eran normal. Poco despues en los ochenta, casi entrando a los noventas los ninos y ninias de las escuelas primaries se veian mas gorditos. La coca-cola y todas las sodas y vevidas de dulce y maiz fue la causa. Ahora mucho muy pocos ninios son normales. En casi cualquier lado de Mexico vas a encontrar que la mayoria de la Gente es obesa y Todo coincide con el cambio de la quimica del azucar con fructosa de maiz.
Sorry, I’m not going to have a discussion with you via Google Translate. The facts remain- Corn was a staple crop for thousands of years and did not cause obesity and Mexico has a lower obesity problem than the United States.
