Sugar And Obesity

[Mito]

Conclusions: In Australia, 4 independent data sets confirmed shorter- and longer-term declines in the availability and intake of added sugars, including those contributed by SSBs. The findings challenge the widespread belief that energy from added sugars or sugars in solution are uniquely linked to the prevalence of obesity.

Interesting disconnect thus proving correlation is not causation. Can we run the Obesity graphic against a few other things like estrogen? And, just for fun, computer usage. :)

Hey Mito great post!
Quick question - I noticed the graph was made by another researcher not a part of that study. Is the data used to make that line graph from the study you posted above?

Yes but I was not able to find the full study.

Oowee!
I found an even more direct study on this phenomenon, I suspect it's from this study where Guyanet got the data he used to create the graph.

Another inconvenient truth:

Carbs went down but overweight rate went up.
