Calorie intake in excess of requirements. Sugar and fat aren’t the only things that contain calories. Protein, starch and alcohol contribute too. Regards, Bill

Love your work. Shared a link to your paleo diet article. We all have faddists in our families! Was interested to see a reference to grandparents feeding children ‘junk’ food in Jane Austyn. ‘Persuasion’ to be precise.

Waaaait… What? So… Fat intake has been coming down… sugar in total, and sugary drinks have also been coming down (does this mean that fructose consumption, with all its “evils” has also actually been coming down?)…

So what is driving the increasing obesity?

As usual, really enjoyed the article.

I reposted the links you gave in the article just to make some anti-mcdonalds communists mad.

Sydney University is not mine. I just hold an honorary position on the Nutrition Research Foundation. Cheers

Patience, Bill. With a bit of luck, a new broom soon with sweep your University of Sydney’s extraordinary faulty Australian Paradox paper from the scientific record.

Bill,

You have got to be kidding. The Australian Paradox paper claims that Australia’s per-capita consumption of added sugar via sugary softdrinks declined between 1980 and 2010. Maybe on another planet. Not on this one:
