This is hard for people to accept, but a recent study may help change peoples minds. The study appeared in the journal Diabetes Care from March 21, […]
The title says it all. 1 in 5 adults obese by 2025. It’s 1 in 8 right now. This is a global number, which frankly, does not make it better. Basically if the trends continue as they seem to be, 18% of men and 21% of women will be obese. This comes from a new […]
