ScienceDaily: Childhood Obesity Caused By 'Toxic Environment' Of Western Diets, Study Says:

"'Our current Western food environment has become highly 'insulinogenic,'' Lustig says, 'as demonstrated by its increased energy density, high-fat content, high glycemic index, increased fructose composition, decreased fiber, and decreased dairy content.'

'In particular, fructose (too much) and fiber (not enough) appear to be cornerstones of the obesity epidemic through their effects on insulin,' he adds."
