Is there a link between GFS consumption and obesity?
There is no direct link between the consumption of GFS and obesity. Many factors contribute to the development of obesity, yet nutritionists, health experts and researchers generally agree that the chief cause is an imbalance between calories consumed and calories burned. Excessive calories can be consumed as fats, proteins, alcohol or carbohydrates. Lack of physical activity also plays a significant role in promoting body fat accumulation and the development of obesity. Recent reports have suggested that excess consumption of FGS may be responsible for the current obesity crisis in the U.S. However, obesity rates have also risen dramatically across Europe in the absence of a parallel rise in GFS/FGS intakes. This comparison renders a link between GFS consumption and obesity implausible.
