Although it is very common to attach the cause of obesity to the volume of sugar or carbs eaten, it’s one that leads to the wrong conclusion. However, it’s one the agriculture industry would like us to believe. There is a definite correlation here but not causation. Non-industry-driven peer reviewed research as consistently demonstrated that sugar isn’t the driver behind obesity as sugar is easily converted to heat (thermogenesis) by the body. That being said, the mistake can be forgiven since it’s the norm to call “sugar treats” things that are in reality full of fat (cakes, cookies, pastries, pies, etc. ). Weight loss/gain is an easy science. If you go over your caloric threshold, your body will want to eliminate or store whatever is in excess through the most efficient process. Converting carbs to fat is a very inefficient process and it won’t be the bodies first choice when handling excess calories. Turning fat into stored fat, however, is something the body is very good at. So when we eat more calories than our body needs and all the fat we require for normal body functions has been absorbed, the excess fat will be converted into stored fat.

Just thought I’d throw that in :)

Regarding fast competition- Tesla Model S was launched in CY12. First direct competitor (EQS) will be available from CY22. It’s amazing that competition was in ‘sleep’ mode.
