"To say that obesity is caused by merely consuming too many calories is like saying that the only cause of
the American Revolution was the Boston Tea Party.
 Adelle Davis

Obesity
Videos

Health"Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and other mammals, is increased to a point where it is a risk factor for certain health conditions or increased mortality. Obesity develops from the interaction of individual biology and the environment. Excessive body weight has been shown to predispose to various diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. Obesity is both an individual clinical condition and is increasingly viewed as a serious public health."  Source: Obesity-Wikipedia
