Yesterday as part of our discussion on "Disorderly Eating", we touched on the topic of "Metabolic Syndrome". We spoke of how obesity can lead to multiple health problems, such as Diabetes and reproductive issues. While some physicians believe that we should treat all of these symptoms as a single disorder, "Metabolic Syndrome", some disagree. A few years ago I actually co-authored a short pro/con article on the American College of Cardiology website and wanted to share it with anyone who was interested in learning more about Metabolic Syndrome and the debate in the medical community.
