The “Growing” Problem
At one time, obesity was not all that common. It wasn’t unusual for many folks to put on a few extra pounds as they got older, but morbid obesity was rare and usually caused by a thyroid disorder rather than overindulgence.
Over the last 30-40 years however, obesity has become almost an epidemic to the point that over 64% of all adults in the U.S. are now overweight. The reasons for this are not clear, and experts do not always agree on the causes. Indeed, it may be due to several different factors, as Dr. Albert Simeons believed when researching the subject back in the 1940s. Some causes that modern dietitians believe are behind the statistics are:
- less time for physical activity due to increased work demands in sedentary occupations
- larger portions
- relatively inexpensive food
- increase in “stress” eating
- addition of high-fructose corn syrup to processed foods
- aggressive marketing of “junk foods”
Dr. Simeons came up with some other ideas however – and if you haven’t read his paper Pounds and Inches (available for free download on our home page), you may be very surprised at what he discovered.
We’re Primates, After All
According to Dr. Simeons, the modern causes of obesity go back several thousand years, and have to do with the most significant development in human history.
Agriculture changed everything. Up until about 10,000 years ago, humans were foragers, hunters and gatherers – meaning that their diets were limited to what could be obtained from the local environment. Foods such as grains and legumes must be cultivated, so these did not exist in the Stone Age diet.
Additionally, Stone Age peoples tended to retain the same eating patterns as their chimpanzee and gorilla relatives, nibbling on small amounts throughout the day. When humans learned to cultivate crops, the nature of work demands changed those patterns of eating to what we are used to today – and introduced new foods into the human diet.
The short story is that over the centuries, this has caused some imbalances in the human system that lead to obesity in certain people.
Restoring the Balance with HCG Drops
When working with thyroid patients in India during the 1930s and 1940s, Dr. Simeons made a remarkable discovery: administering small amounts of the hormone HCG caused weight loss in these overweight individuals when nothing else worked.
