Story at-a-glance

  • Global obesity rates have skyrocketed, with over 3.8 billion adults projected to be overweight or obese by 2050, making this a worsening crisis that no country has successfully reversed
  • People are gaining excess weight at younger ages than ever before, increasing their lifetime exposure to obesity-related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers
  • The obesity epidemic is no longer limited to wealthy nations — low-income and developing countries are experiencing some of the fastest-growing obesity rates due to shifts toward ultraprocessed foods
  • The economic burden of obesity is crippling health care systems, with global obesity-related health care costs expected to reach $4 trillion by 2035
  • Fixing obesity requires addressing the root causes — eliminating harmful seed oils, reducing exposure to synthetic estrogens and EMFs, and healing the gut to restore proper mitochondrial function
