Diet-Induced Obesity (DIO) is a major public health issue affecting not only developed, but also developing countries worldwide. Patients suffering from obesity are at a significantly increased risk of developing a plethora of medical problems, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, gout, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity is also associated with certain types of cancer, notably breast, endometrial and gallbladder cancer in women, and prostate and colorectal cancer in men.
