Correlation != causation.

Let's say that again:

Correlation != causation.

For example, the hunger experienced by undiagnosed Type 2's could
theoretically cause them to consume more fatty foods and fast foods,
causing such statistics. Also, eating fatty foods correlates well with
eating salty foods, sweet foods, fast foods, and being a fat couch potato.

Also, steak != fat. The Atkins practicioners work on heavy *protein*
dosages, not heavy fat dosages, which can be tough to avoid with fast
food but is certainly possible.

I wonder who funded the study and which correlations they left *out*?

Lets also not forget that most overweight people drink diet drinks. Ergo -
diet drink cause obesity.

Aspartame forming formaldehyde clumps in your body.
