Obesity, diabetes epidemics continue to grow in California, study finds
A majority of adults in California are obese or overweight and more than 2 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, according to a new study. Both conditions have increased significantly in just six years -- the prevalence of diabetes alone jumped 21 percent between 2001 and 2007. The "epidemic" of both obesity and diabetes leaves no racial, ethnic, economic or geographic segment of the state unscathed.
