What changes around the world have occurred since the mid 1970's which might have contributed to the obesity pandemic

Global deficiency now of items 1-3

  1. Vitamin D - perhaps a 4X decrease
    12 recent reasons for vitamin D deficiency and 14 others
  2. Magnesium - perhaps a 2X decrease
    above link has 7 reasons for decreased Magnesium
  3. Iodine - perhaps a 2X decrease
    Less iodine in milk and flour; less use of table salt; increased use of bromine and fluoride - both of which block iodine in the blood
  4. Adenovirus-36 an increase - unknown how much and when
    symptoms of a several day cold or sore throat - but stays; WikiPedia
    (Contacted the Adenovirus/Obesity company Feb 2012: they do not have the data)

There do not appear to be GLOBAL changes in other factors often associated with obesity

Exercise, too many calories, wheat, reduced fiber, Calcium, Corn Syrup, fast food
