Stop asking questions

Because it wasn't "caused" by sugar alone.

It was "caused" by refined carbohydrates(sugar), refined fats(oils) and a general decrease in physical activity.

>sugar
just the one, sucrose?

aging population
cessation of smoking
this really isn't hard

Why would oils cause obesity compared to other fat source's like butter?

>Why would oils cause obesity compared to other fat source's like butter?
Lots of reasons. One of the biggest ones is how people used oil and butter.

For example people would put a piece of butter on their steak, adding 100-300 calories to a 500-700 calorie steak.

All in all the meal was 1,000 calories and was filling.

A bag of Doritos has 2,100 calories. Extremely calorie dense and low in volume. People eat entire bags of Doritos and a gallon of soda no sweat, and that is way more than their recommended calorie intake of 2,000-2,500. And some people do this 2-3 times a day.

Take a potato and fry it and you massively increase the calorie density all while maintaining very similar volume. Humans eat on average 3-4 pounds of food per day.

The overall calorie density of the diet massively increased over the last 50 years.

Is this all sugar in general or processed sugar? Seems pretty fucking important.

>Is this all sugar in general or processed sugar?
I'm assuming it's "added sugar" in all it's various forms and names.

A mix of artificial sweeteners, seed oils, and leptin resistance

50s is when canola oil appeared on the market for the first time
REALLY MAKES YOU THINK

>adding 100-300 calories to a 500-700 calorie steak.
Nigger what
300 calories is like 52 grams of butter

It's also when the television became nearly ubiquitous. People spending 5+ hours per day lounging around watching TV could contribute to obesity.

because those people were already fat as fuck by time sugar intake went down. once people get fat most of them dont get thin again, they'll just eat more shit with less sugar in it. 20 years of constantly increasing sugar intake has consequences. a lot of those people are also older now and old people rarely ever lose weight

The scientist who made that “sugar is bad” documentary *specifically* said sugar wasn’t the cause of obesity.

Sugar is the cause of all the health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure

You're easily the shittiest poster on this board kys

>sugar doesn't cause obesity
>it just causes diabetes
What?

i honestly think pizza is a huge reason america is so fucking fat. so many people eat huge pizzas every other night for dinner because its cheap and filling

>52 grams
this is lighter than you think

>If obesity is caused by processes sugar
Stupid strawman but whatever. Obesity is multifactorial.
95g a day is still a shit ton of sugar user. That's nearly 400kcal a day of only sugar. And remember, these are per capita figures. Plenty of people eat little to no sugar. That leaves plenty sugar to go around for the fatties. Total calorie consumption per capita is around 3000, and people are only getting lazier and lazier.
>sugar causes obesity
NO
A prolonged calorie surplus and a sedentary lifestyle causes obesity.

>300 calories is like 52 grams of butter
Are you high? Allowing for the slight water content, butter is around 8kcal per gram, or 9kcal per gram if its clarified butter.
Sure, that's still over 30grams of butter, or a little over an ounce, but you're deluding yourself if you think some people don't add that much.
And you only need to add ~12g of butter to add an extra 100 kcal.

Because sugar got replaced
