Leptin Abuse - Parents Making their Own Toddlers Fat

A new study shows that soft drinks and sweetened fruit drinks between meals and at bedtime double the risk for a child to be overweight by age 4 ½. It is obvious these children don't buy their own food, so it is parents who are doing it to their own kids – a problem that significantly worsens based on the economic and educational status of the parents.

Two of the five rules of The Leptin Diet explain exactly why a person should not snack between meals or eat after dinner at night. The fact that metabolism can be blatantly disrupted by age 4 ½ by violating these rules is further validation of the importance of understanding the hormone leptin and how it works in metabolism. Individuals have numerous options to naturally support the healthy function of leptin.
