EVEN “HEALTHY OBESITY” MUST BE TREATED

By: | Tags:

Some people with obesity are free of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and several types of cancer which often accompany this condition, despite their high body mass index (BMI).

What makes you fat is not bread, but butter, the delicatessen, the cheeses, the jams that we apply on bread, and when we eat it with other starchy […]
