Back when corn oil was being touted for its health benefits, a prominent radio physician advised us that drinking a quart of corn oil daily would not be a great health strategy.
Heavy drinking of fruit juice is also connected to increased cancer.
Do you have a citation?
“In total, 16 articles reported on the consumption of 100% fruit juice and the risk of cancer. All these articles were included in the dose–response meta-analysis and highest category versus lowest category meta-analysis. An intake increase of 250 mL of 100% fruit juice per day was associated with 31% increase in the risk of overall cancer (RR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.65; I2 = 70.6%; absolute risk difference 57 per 1000 persons) and 22% risk of melanoma (RR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.31; absolute risk difference 1 more per 1000 persons), 2% risk of squamous cell carcinoma (RR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.04; absolute risk difference 0 more per 1000 persons), and 28% risk of thyroid cancer RR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.53; absolute risk difference 1 more per 1000 persons) (Tables 2 and 3, supplementary Table S7). We found that the results of highest versus lowest comparisons were consistent with the dose–response meta-analysis.”
Don’t forget the lawn darts!
Coupled with exercise, no link. Kids are just not playing, or competing outside any more. Blame the parents.
I suspect these same people doing the study also raved about the movie “Supersize Me.”
Kids not playing outside, all the time, whenever possible, and instead sitting on the couch with a TV, computer, phone, game console, etc, has nothing to do with obesity.

And sucking down that 100% FRUIT juice while doing that contributes to their health, like the white supremecists do.
It’s all sugar.
Just stick with purple drank and you can’t go wrong.
Weight loss alone does not indicate a good, healthy diet. There are some very unhealthy skinny people out there. Cholesterol alone does not indicate healthy blood work. It gives only relative numbers for both cholesterol and triglycerides, so it is hard to say how good or bad either of those numbers is only a relative improvement. He is right in his own observation that these numbers are missing something. I would note that based on the numbers in the article, he lost 3 lbs or about 2.5% of his lean mass. On a high fat, low carb diet my lean mass went up substantially while my weight went down.
Also the quality of the calorie matters for long term success. Restrictive diets that leave a person hungry cannot be sustained long term. Sugar tends towards a cycle of hunger as the insulin response drives down blood sugar and leaves you hungry again. Fats combined with low carbohydrate intake satiates better and make periods of food abstinence and fasting much easier so reduced calorie consumption is not felt as strongly.
I eat sort of a Mediterranean and Paleo diet combo.
Mostly animal, vegetable, and fruit with some bread & potato.
I’ve trained hard for 35 years and have had success with different exercise protocols and diet protocols.
One thing I think is correct is don’t do anything linear with nutrition.
People try to eat the same calories daily with the same macros daily.
No biological system, besides humans, does that.
Simplified-shop the perimeter of your grocery store, move everyday, don’t stress, and sleep 8+ hours

I think that’s the key right there. We all did when we were kids and nobody was fat.
And fast food was an occasional treat, not the norm like it seems to be for a lot of families these days.
True.
I’m probably more active than 90% of kids nowadays…sad.
