Turns out that fat excretes dozens of substances into our body that can lead to diseases such as diabetes. It is not just the toll fat is taking on our hearts because of all the extra blood veins/vessels and it is not just the toll the 'bad' food we ate to get us fat that has taken on us (clogged arteries, bad complexions) and then there is the how we look and the energy we have factors. Doggone it! Fat is just not good no matter how you look at it!
