ResearchChannel asked:
In this National Institutes of Health program, Marc L. Reitman, chief of the molecular biology and gene regulation section of the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney diseases, reviews current information on obesity and related complications. He also describes how a limited amount of fat can contribute to overall health. At least $30 billion is spent treating obesity-related conditions in the United States every year. While researchers suspect genetic and environmental factors …

It’s more about diet than weight. As soon as he gets himself on a sensible diet, his blood sugar will become normal. Losing weight is basically a bonus. Weight and blood sugar don’t affect each other significantly. It’s diet and activity that controls both.
He needs to know that if he doesn’t get a grip on it now, he’ll have type 2 later, and will have to control it more then than he has to now.

Does he have Type 2 yet?
If he had Type 2, chances are only something like a very extreme vegan diet will help. If not, so long as he watches his diet very carefully, his blood sugar should begin to go back to normal levels.

Eh, the Illuminati is run by reptilian kin known throughout history as Jinn, Naga, Vampires, Angels/Demons, Dragons, Dracul, Al Gore, Bruces, Windsors, Rothschilds etc. that rule the inner cult of Freemasonry and do foul sex/torture rituals. They’ll probably start WW3, go to internet 2, force-vaccinate everyone in Fall & have a staged alien invasion to get a microchipped pop/world government but will fail! Support FreemanTV, Alex Jones, Dr.Deagle, David Icke, Stewart Swerdlow & Project Camelot!

The rats are jumping ship.
CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it’s YouTube channel.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.

The thing is about these statistics is that they can vary from sources to sources because of the degree of which you have to be overweight in order to be obese considered varies. imo as long as you are healthy being a little overweight is alright.

Genetics: Potentials. Example: 1/ # of fat cells @ birth, 2/ Their distribution among your body parts, & 3/ Distribution just under skin or more deeply under facsia, determine: A/ The fattest you could possibly be. B/ How it can affect health, & C/ How you’d look. (Those w/ ‘deep’ fat may seem to have thick muscular waists.) If diet & activity cause you to not fill those fat cells, ( not ‘turn on’ that particular ‘genetic switch’), you may never even know you had such potential.

Passive lifestyle coupled with minimal exercise of our bodies and minds will bring ill health and premature death to young America. Thank you for providing this information in a readily accessible forum.

Black women tend to have more obesity, but how are you measuring this? BMI? Just adding weight to a persons frame (whether fat or lead weights) over time will cause an increase in muscule weight. Perhaps this is why Black women can weigh more and yet have a better health risk. I’d like to see a fat percentage of the total body weight as being a more accurate way to develop theories about medical risks rising from obesity.

There are plenty of other health problems in other countries. In poor Asian countries a lot of people live almost completely off rice and definitely aren’t taking any multivitamins, so they lack a lot of nutrition, which can be just as dangerous. Also, I disagree that genetics play a greater role, than willpower. I used to be pretty fat and my mom and brother are both obese. I skateboard and eat healthier no and I’m in good shape. They don’t. I eat plenty, but I eat things that are nutritional.

Just read a recent article on a two year in depth study on obesity avg weight loss over 2 years was a mere 5 – 10 lbs. I believe genetics play a greater role than “willpower” Takes me a year suppliments and weight training to gain 10-20 lbs, and I lose it back in 2 weeks sweating and working in the summer.
