Abstract
Obesity will probably replace cigarette smoking as the major killer of Americans in the next century.1 Research shows that excess body weight leads directly to many health problems, and it often contributes indirectly to other serious diseases by precipitating dangerous metabolic abnormalities.2 In short, obesity plays a central role in the development of numerous diseases, including Type II diabetes, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, various cancers, osteoarthritis, gallbladder disease, stroke, and all cause mortality.
