The Internet, Alcohol, And Sleep: That May Contribute To Weight Gain In Adolescent Girls, Journal Of Pediatrics

More garbage from pediatricians, the same people who bring you drugged children.
"Girls moving through adolescence may experience unhealthy levels of weight gain, but the reasons for this are not always clear. In fact, many potential causes of weight gain are easily overlooked. A new study soon to be published in The Journal of Pediatrics analyzes the effect of Internet usage, sleep, and alcohol and coffee consumption on weight gain in adolescent girls."
The reason for weight gain is always clear and it is always the same - more Calories in than out.

This is the absolute most basic scientific truth, like gravity.

Not a single one of these "activities" would cause or could cause a gram of weight gain if these ballooning kids consumed fewer Calories than they burned or the same number of Calories they burned.

Sit around - consume the same or fewer Calories than you burn and you cannot gain weight.

Move around - consume more Calories, but not more than you burn (for weight loss or a stable weight).

More crap research from drug pusher docs.

Beer, which is often touted by teenagers as something that is ‘non-alcoholic’ is actively responsible for rapid weight gain and even obesity. Among all the alcoholic drinks beer is said to be the active contributor to weight gain. However, nowadays there are weight loss pills for obesity. A very popular weight loss drug named phentermine has been recently banned for certain adverse side-effects that it possessed.
