Weight Gain - Third Test

If you are interested in a thorough review of the possible environmental effects contributing to the rise in obesity in the US beginning about 1980, I am enjoying the long series at Slime Mold, Time Mold. As far as I have read at present, he has found the seed oil, glyphosate, and related theories inadequate, but thinks something is up with trace elements of lithium. He covers a wide range of possibilities, such as possible paradoxical effects (there is a corresponding increase in eating disorders over the same period), which is what occurs in people starting a new medication. Antidepressants reduce suicidality in a great many people, but increase it in a few, for example. 

Again, I am interested in who is seeing this, purposely buried as it is in 2011, but actually written in 2021.
