Fructose, a natural sugar found in fruit, could be responsible for obesity, British scientists propose in the magazine New Scientist. Their research shows that fructose more adverse effects than other sugars. Fructose is present in fruits, fruit juices and jam and is often used to sweeten soft drinks and fast food to make. Under study is the number of calories less important than the type of food that contains sugar.
The researchers gave 33 overweight people with test meals consisting of 14 days long 30 percent fat, 55 percent complex carbohydrates (like bread and rice) and 15 percent protein. In the ten weeks after they received a diet in which one quarter of the energy came from fructose or glucose. Both groups were in that period about 1.5 kilos.
Who got fructose, was much more developed abdominal fat and cholesterol than the glucose group. Abdominal fat is a dangerous kind, because it surrounds your vital organs. Moreover, it increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The distribution of fat is very important for predicting the possible complications of obesity. They differ according to the dominance types of fat:
- central obesity or android or abdominal (apple shape): excess fat is typically located in face, chest and abdomen. This type of obesity is associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and overall mortality.
- Gynoid or peripheral obesity (pear shaped) fat accumulates mainly in the hips and thighs. This type of distribution is primarily associated with venous problems in lower limbs (varices) and osteoarthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis).
- Obesity evenly distributed: it is one in which the excess fat is not dominant in any anatomic area. To find out what kind of obese before we divide the waist circumference by hip circumference. In women, when it is above 0.9, and the man when he is to 1 is considered android type obesity.
- Latest trends: in the latest American Consensus on Obesity (1998), for assessment of overweight using BMI proposed, and waist circumference. The recommendation of abandoning the waist / hip ratio for waist circumference, is due to the positive correlation which it has with abdominal fat content.

The adipose tissue not only contains adipocytes, the cells responsible for fat storage but also has the presence of a variety of immune cells. Researchers have also found that Treg cells, increase with age in visceral adipose tissue of an individual with normal weight but not in the subcutaneous. “This finding is important because visceral adipose tissue was directly related to insulin resistance, unlike the subcutaneous”
Researchers have discovered that another type of inflammatory immune cells, macrophages, are inversely related to Treg cells. That is, while the adipose tissue of obese and diabetic individual is full of inflammatory macrophages but almost devoid of Treg cells in the adipose tissue of an individual with normal weight, the opposite occurs. According to Herrero points, “it is possible that the inflammation caused by macrophages produce insulin resistance and as inferred in this work Treg cells kept at bay macrophages in normal adipose tissue thus preventing inflammation.”
This perspective is a key development because immunologists had thought until now that the function of Treg cells was to control the immune response to prevent the fight foreign pathogens could end up damaging the tissue itself. ”A wrong Treg cell function has been linked to diseases as diverse as multiple sclerosis and certain cancers. Now we’re seeing that Treg cells may also be necessary to prevent diabetes,

Obesity is a health problem of greater growth in the United States. In 2000, 31% of American adults were obese, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. And those classified as morbidly obese, as Mr. Rosenthal, tripled in number in just a decade. The complications of morbid obesity are not limited only to life-threatening diseases such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, but also receive medical care that is beyond his reach, and so available to others without this weight problem.
The severely obese people do not fit in standard size wheelchairs, chairs in the waiting room, the beds and hospital gowns, or MRI machines, among other difficulties they face. X-rays often can not penetrate his body sufficiently to produce useful images, and give health to their weight.
