He shows how places like Southeast Asia who once lived off a lot of reined grains had a low level of obesity and health problems, but once they adopted a Western diet those rates increased. Sugar may not be the only possibility this happened, but it has a lot of potential to be. Another key point to this whole argument is how a lot of studies
