Obesity is Not a Fat Problem - It is an Acidic Problem

If people keep gaining weight at the current rate,
fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of
U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent obese, U.S.
researchers predicted on Wednesday.

A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore
examined 20 studies published in journals and
looked at national surveys of weight and behavior
for their analysis, published in the Journal
Epidemiologic Reviews.

"Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate
of obesity and overweight continues at this pace,
by 2015, 75 percent of adults and nearly 24 percent
of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight
or obese," Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.

They defined adult overweight and obesity using a
standard medical definition called body mass index.
People with a BMI of 25 or above are considered
overweight, while those with BMIs of 30 or above
are obese and at serious risk of heart disease,
diabetes and some cancers.

Studies show that 66 percent of U.S. adults were
overweight or obese in 2003 and 2004. An alarming
80 percent of black women aged 40 or over are
overweight and 50 percent are obese.

Sixteen percent of U.S. children and adolescents
are overweight and 34 percent are at risk of
becoming overweight, according to federal government
figures.

Every group is steadily getting heavier,
Wang said.

"Our analysis showed patterns of obesity or
overweight for various groups of Americans,"
said May Beydoun, who worked on the study.

"Obesity is likely to continue to increase,
and if nothing is done, it will soon become
the leading preventable cause of death in the
United States."

"Obesity is not a fat problem, it is an acid
problem. Too many people are eating an acidic
diet and living an acidic life. The problem
is not the body fat, it is the acid from the foods
we eat. We need to realize that fat is a
buffer of dietary and metabolic acids. When
we decrease the acidity in our diet and lifestyle
then we can lose weight naturally and in a healthy
way," said Dr. Robert O. Young.
