Here are some stats from the OECD’s latest study courtesy of the Washington Examiner:
- In 2015, an estimated 603.7 million adults and 107.7 million children worldwide were obese. That represents about 12 percent of all adults and 5 percent of all children.
- The prevalence of obesity doubled in 73 countries between 1980 and 2015and continuously increased in most of the other countries.
- China and India had the highest number of obese children. China and the U.S. had the highest number of obese adults.
- Excess body weight accounted for about 4 million deaths or 7.1 percent of all deaths in 2015.
- Almost 70 percent of deaths related to a high BMI were due to cardiovascular disease.
- The study finds evidence that having a high BMI causes leukemia and several types of cancer, including cancers of the esophagus, liver, breast, uterus, ovary, kidney and thyroid.
Weight Loss: Starts with the liver
By breaking down toxins stored in fat cells, this is a healthy way to begin any weigh loss program. Each time someone reduces their fat cell storage, they must take a liver cleanse to make sure the elevated toxins that result are processed so they don’t return as fat cells. Avoid The Toxin Bump. That is the weight that returns after a diet because the body is trying to store toxins in fat cells. Use Hepatiben and keep the weight off.
