（76）[Thus,thosewhoranthemostatethemost,yetlostthegreatestamountofbodyfat.]

[文章大意及重要词汇]

美国30%的成人（adult）都有“体重（weight）问题”。

大多数人认为造成这一现象的原因很明显（obvious）他们吃的太胖了。

但是这一观点却没有足够的科学证据（evidence）来支撑。

回顾一下20世纪处的美国，当时的人们普遍比现在的人瘦，吃得比现在的人多，同时他们的体力劳动（physically）很辛苦、经常走路、很少使用机器、也不看电视。

现在许多研究也表明。

从整体上（average）来看胖人比瘦人吃得要少。

而1979年对伦敦3545个办公室人员的调查也恰恰证实了这一观点。

研究同时也表明瘦人比胖人运动量更大。

美国斯坦福大学医学院的研究人员发现了下列有趣的事实：

运动量越大的人，消耗的体内脂肪越多。

运动量越大的人，饭量越大。

因此（Thus），运动量最大的人吃得也最多，但同时消耗的体内脂肪也最多。
