MAKE EVERYTHING AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE,

is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few
as possible without having to surrender the adequate
representation of a single datum of experience.

CONCLUSION: Factors other than diet and physical activity may be contributing to the increase in BMI over time. Further research is necessary to identify these factors and to determine the mechanisms through which they affect body weight.
“ … but what factors, exactly? This remains to be seen, but increasing evidence suggests environmental chemicals, particularly endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are playing a role.”

EVALUATING HEALTH INFORMATIONRed flags The information is anonymous
There is a conflict of interest The information is one-sided or biased The information is outdated There is a claim of a miracle or secret cure No evidence is cited The grammar is poor and words are misspelled
