Alcoholism Risk Linked To Obesity Risk!
The link between a family history of alcohol dependency and obesity risk has become more prominent over the last few years. A higher percentage of males and females with a family history of alcoholism were found to be obese in 2002 than in 1992.
15% of the US population was obese in the late 1970s, compared to 33% in 2004.
An obese individual has a significantly higher risk of developing hypertension, several cancers, stroke, heart disease and diabetes. What we eat now has more calories than the food we ate in the 70s and 80s, but it also contains the sorts of calories – particularly a combination of sugar, salt and fat – that appeal to what are commonly called the reward centers in the brain.”
