Now days the most popular thing on TV news services is stories about diabetes which has quickly become the infliction of the 21st century. So we should not be surprised that diabetes and obesity go hand in hand.
Really the fact is Obesity is the NO 1 cause of diabetes, unfortunately when you look into it, by being obese you are setting yourself up for a fall. Because obese people can also be more afflicted by stroke heart disease and heart attack.
Obesity and Diabetes go together like ding and dong, the CDC clearly acknowledge that they think obesity is the NO1 cause of Diabetes. They also have gone so far to say that it is the primary reason people get diabetes.
The magnitude of the problem can be judged when one goes by figures released by the Surgeon General that show that overweight children and adults have doubled in their numbers as compared to ten years ago. The result is a drastic increase in Type 2 diabetes, which is a cause that should make anyone worried.
Poor Food Choices
