Opinion

  1. Alfred Alfred Australia says:

    The idea that consuming fat goes directly around your organs and waist is complete rubbish. The body processes the fat, like everything else that does not leave via the rear-end.

    Surplus fat is deposited when easily processed carbohydrates (e.g. white flour and sugars and fruit-juices) are consumed. The carbohydrate surge leads to an insulin surge and this insulin converts the carbohydrates to fat and stores it in the body.

    Please read "Good calories, bad calories" and the research it refers to. IMHO, it is a shame that so few doctors seem to read the literature after leaving medical school.

    The "sugary soft drink" referred to in the article contains zero fat so why the false imagery?
