Letter on Corpulence on line

[Guest guest]

You may have heard about this pamphlet, written in 1863. You can read it online.

It is interesting, in that it was very low carb, that worked against obesity. He

also, as they say now, it was not lack of exercise, or overeating that got him

fat. It was sugar, and the foods that turn into sugar in the body that turned

into fat. He also listed many health benefits as well from the diet. He asked in

the pamphlet, for doctors to comment on why it works, but he did not get help

in that respect. We do know now more on why carbs make us fat.
