Duh, I think there is already enough proof around this topic. It's not just by eating a high amount of calories, it's all about what one puts on his\her plate. We are made to belief that all the refined and processed foods are full of nutritional health etc, while i reality a great portion of what we buy from our normal\accepted food supply chain is made out of foods our body is simply not able to process. I think the author should have a serious look at the paleo lifestyle and look at real life proof such as the Whals Foundation. A good read would be "Minding My Mitochondria" written by Dr Whals who overcame MS. Other interesting reads are the "Thrive Diet" and of course doco's such as Food Inc., Food Matters and Forks over Knives. The truth is out there, we are just ignoring it as well is it silenced by the well oiled machines. If the USDA and the FDA where going to get serious about these studies we could save significant on healthcare, however then there is no money to be made, we need to stop the revolving door policies and lobbyists!
