My morbidly obese child with genetic issues was raised on a vegan diet with no added sugars from birth.

No junk food, no mickyd’s. The nutrition specialists at the Children’s hosptial did not know what to do with her.

We moved to a more meat based diet, still organic and managed to keep her weight in check. The genetic testing showed that she had certain markers for obesity beyond willpower and diet issues.

Thanks,
I was only referring to the general population. There certainly are some special case people with genetic or glandular issues as well that cause or exacerbate these similar problems.
Glad things are working better now for her.
