Ryde on asked: I watched a show on Discovery ” The Science of Obesity” in it they stated that only approx. 5% of overweight or obese people were so due to medical reasons ,leaving 95% of the overweight due to over eating and under exercising.

I’m looking for links or stats to support or verify theses numbers.
