ABOUT OBESITY
Obesity has Multiple Causes
Obesity is a multifactorial disease with multiple causes. It is caused by several hormone abnormalities that often combine with lifestyle issues to create a condition of abnormal, increased fat storage.
Fat is Not the Disease
The fat is not the disease – it is a sign of the disease. Just like a rash is a sign of chicken pox.
Obesity Causes Other Diseases
Obesity has numerous negative consequences. People who have obesity suffer from multiple other diseases that are caused by hormone abnormalities and stored excess fat.
