it's more likely that suger is the biggest cause of our obesity epidemic. i'm pretty sure i couldn't find the article again, but i read something about a week ago about how the rise of obesity in our country has pretty much matched the increase in suger consumption. we eat about 47% more suger today than we did 20 or 50 (can't remember which) years ago (and shockingly enough, diabetes rates have gone up just about the same amount). that's not to say that there aren't other factors involved as well, but suger is probably the #1 cause.
