Perhaps you eat the same sugar and eat more fat and get obese?

Unless you put sugar in your dairy products.
Fat/sugar ratios around 50:50 fool the body into thinking that you haven't eaten enough -- when did you ever feel full after eating ice cream?
I'll bet you never have; most people could continuously eat ice cream until they explode. You need to eat other stuff (either lots of fat or lots of sugar is OK) to trigger your body's "I've eaten enough" response.

Amazing.... Plus the other day I heard that another study has found that a full fat diet does not increase the risks of heart attack or stroke.
Seems like anything else with science anymore.... Just wait a while and all the guidance and assumptions will change....
Truthfully, if I hear another "The science is settled" on any subject where it is still all conjecture, I think I'll puke....
Oh wait.... my stomach is rumbling.....

There have been a lot of studies with these results for years, it's only now that it's reaching a more mainstream audience. I first started adding more fat to my diet after reading fatland ten years ago. It's a great read on how fat was systematically vilified over a period of years.

Before you do that, check to see how difficult it has been to do nutrition research, especially in America.
1. It's too expensive to get people to follow a prescribed diet for the years it takes, and then people cheat.
2. Surveys are one of the best tools, but then people lie, and mis-remember to feel better about themselves.
3. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is so awful, that almost any change has a positive effect. For example people cut fat by eating less fast food and improve. The effect isn't because of the fat, but that the fast food was so awful.
There are many other areas of medical science that can get much more accurate results, but even then there are so many other factors.

I think they know the difference anatomically they just don't know about anything between the two points.

The studies that were used to "prove" that dietary fats, especially cholesterol, caused heart disease were made a very long time ago and were extremely flawed. It takes the medical establishment years to shift its position. the only reason that fats are bad for you is they are high in calories and we're nearly all overweight! The food processing industry largely replaced fats with sugar to compensate for the lack of taste. In order to get around the loss of hard animal fats (cholesterol), margerine was introduced and hydrogenated vetetable oils replaced animal fats. The hydrogenization process creates trans fats as a by-product.
Both sugar and trans fats are now recognized to be bad for you. Sugar, depending on the quantities and what other food is consumed at the same time, is pretty much the cause of type 2 diabetes and a major contibutor to obesity. Trans fats are never good for you (unless starvation is the alternative!) The corollary is that we were duped into unhealthy diets exactly because of bad studies (I believe the first was from Russia in the 30s!)
These facts have been known for years. John Yudkin wrote "Pure, White and Deadly" in 1986 see link for downloads[^], but you still see "low fat" lauded as the be all and end all of a healthy diet. A low fat diet for infants is actually detrimental to healthy brain development (explains a lot, huh?)
So enjoy the Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puds and bacon sarnies (don't start about nitrosamines!) and stop worrying! 
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

And sodium. Oh God, the sodium. You eat a low fat diet, you're practically guaranteed to get an entire week's worth of sodium in one meal.

It probably increases the risk of hitting the "s" key instead of the "a" key when typing the word "diabetes", though.

I had heart surgery and a stent implant. A full fat diet will kill me before I have a chance to develop type 2 diabetes..if my cardiologist doesn't kill me first.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Hi All,
I keep getting certain agents asking for some documents like passport, birth certificate, dental records before they will submit my application, as it standard practise...however most seem happy with a CV and my assurance that they will be supplied when needed. Is it me, or does the agent that needs them sound a bit 'odd' I think these particular documents could be used for ID theft?... Or am I being paranoid

yes

Copy the certificate, proving you have one, and cross out any details that can be used to identify you beyond your first/last name.

That's actually a great idea. I wonder why it never occurred to me.

Dental records should confirm that.

My other half works for a recruitment company - as far as I know, to be compliant with their own processes, the identification/right to work documentation has to be with them before contract signing (not certain by whom, end client or contractor). I'll get further confirmation tonight.
Whoever is asking may, of course, have different internal processes - and you could also be paranoid

My wife has been working for her company for 8 years now, she has just had to provide proof she is allowed to work in the UK.
She doesn't have a current passport (recently expired) so they said birth certificate and National Insurance card.
I said they both prove that someone with her maiden name is allowed to work in the UK, but not her.
They eventually worked this out too and accepted her expired passport as it was valid when she was employed by them.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Thank you for referring to her that way instead of using "herself." I don't know why but it annoys me when people refer to their wife here as "herself." 
"Herself went to the store..." See, it is terrible.
OK, I'm good. Carry on.

I prefer to use "the boss". It avoids all confusion. Note the lack of capitalisation which denotes the fact that Bruce Springsteen and I have never met.
