The data suggests that approximately 67% of people are overweight or obese according to the standard definition of BMI. It's bad enough, but if you consider how the fat is distributed, the situation gets worse. Most people have excess fat around their organs in the form of abdominal fat, the most dangerous type.
Abdominal fat, sometimes called visceral fat, is the fat that surrounds the liver, stomach, and intestines. In prehistoric times, people put grease in these places to prepare them for the winter months. But with our current excess of junk food, we maintain our stores of visceral fat throughout the year, which creates a multitude of problems.
