RE: THE SUGAR CONSPIRACY - WHICH WAS ACTUALLY PROVEN RIGHT!!!
"Unfortunately, that’s not the complete truth. Statistics show that up to 20% of obese people are actually healthy and never cause any additional burden to the health care system. "
I had a little laugh at that because you could just flip the number back around to, 80% do cause a burden, and push the original narrative that wasn't telling the complete story. 80% is still an overwhelming majority.
The whole point was to emphasise the fact that obesity alone is not the issue...but metabolic syndrome is. Yes when you are obese you are more likely to be suffering from metabolic syndrome...but being thin doesnt protect you from it.
