The cause of the world-wide epidemic of obesity based on medical research

I would like to refer Dr Michael Peel and all those who think that the world-wide epidemic of obesity is caused by excessive sugar consumption via sweetened soft drinks to my Rapid Response of 12 January 2009 in which I quote a number of medical research papers demonstrating that it is not the hypothesised high sugar consumption via sweetened soft drinks but a deranged sugar metabolism linked to hyperinsulinaemia which starts in early infancy and has its roots in childhood vaccines.
