I would love to see an RCT on a ton of really common environmental contaminants at different dosages in the human diet. Of course this would be incredibly unethical and inefficient with respect to human welfare, but it would, I think, finally get people to believe that there are obesegenic compounds (and viruses) that need to be avoided for proper metabolic health.
Phthalates, Adenovirus 36, bisphenols, certain pesticides and fungicides--which ones should we be investing in getting rid of?
if the author is correct that the cause of obesity is environmental contaminants, it would be very simple to test this. The author is using lab rat data (the cafeteria diet example) as a main point in their conclusion, so simply adding the chemicals in question to otherwise uncontaminated food and feeding it to lab rats should easily disprove or prove their point.
I think currently is all of them, until we figure it all out. The costs of obesity overweight benefits of convenience of above mentioned things. (You can argue about adenoviruses -- I've got two shots of the adenovirus based vaccine).
