All together now:

DUH!

something most of us who have studied this kind of thing have known for years.......glad science as usual is catching up......

If you want to lose weight, watch what fat people eat and then don't eat that.

[ClearCase_guy]

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

You're telling me that refined carbohydrates like sugar and white bread are BAD for me??
And whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are GOOD??

Dude! You blow my mind!

While this has a high "duh" factor, it is on the mark. Not all carbs are created equal...

For example, potatoes have one of the highest GI numbers of all foods.

"Exercize" is a word not in the article.

Not one single person that I know who is overweight, does regular exercize.

Not one single person that I know who exercizes regularly, is significantly overweight.

I haven't any idea, whatsoever, about their diets.

Yet another study from the "No Sh*t" department...

[Final Authority]

A fellow engineer friend of mine used to bring to work bags of bread rolls to eat for snacks and lunch. His diet consisted of bagels and bulkies. He was really thin and he was about 60 years old. The punch line is, he would ride his bike 20 miles to and from work and ride and additional 25 to 40 miles, depending on the season, afterwards. When there was company sponsored parties and meals he would drink copious beers and eat everything on the buffet. He never gained a pound, not surprisingly.

It confirms what I've been saying, gathered from much research and bad dieting, for a very long time now. If only we could get the high fructose corn syrup out of just about everything we eat... It's like the corn lobbies and the diet industries are in collusion. The government tells Americans we're too fat, and they will tell us how to eat, and then they advocate the addition of these high glycemic additions to way too many processed foods that we eat...

But cultures that eat high quantities of pasta and rice don't have higher-than-average obesity rates. Why is that?

[Blennos]

I like the very apt reference to "Al-Reuters". I have read that they are controlled by the Saudis. If they are not, they certainly act as if they were.
