Here's a really interesting article about how obesity is rising in the US and yet diabetes is falling. I think that some of these aberrations are due to them making diagnosis more robust so people have been diagnosed who has slipped through the net. They use the haemoglobin A1C blood test for diagnosis.
Health officials are not jumping with joy because obesity is still on the rise so it is definitely a paradox:
I think if people are wishing to heal health issues & shed their excess weight they should read "The Plant Paradox" - The hidden dangers in "healthy" foods that cause disease & weight gain by Steven R Gundry MD. I'm finding it very useful not eating foods with seeds and NO gluten, beans, eggplant, chia seeds, quinoa, tomatoes, etc. He's treated so many autoimmune, cancer patients, etc. Modern foods are causing our health/obesity issues. A must read book to get healthy.
