Rising European life expectancy undermined by obesity: WHO
Life expectancy in Europe continues to increase but obesity and the growing proportion of people who are overweight risks reversing this trend, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.
In its European Health Report, covering 53 countries in a vast geographical area from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the UN agency found well-being is the highest in the world but varies widely within the region.
Average life expectancy from birth has increased from 76.7 years in 2010 to 77.8 years in 2015. Women continue to live longer than men—81.1 years compared to 74.6 years for men, although the gap has slightly narrowed.

Do you think 100 calories of table sugar will fill you up as much as 100 calories of olive oil?
Why not, all food is JUST calories, right? Do you even know about the way the body digests carbs, fats, and proteins? Hint: it's different for each one.
