Unable to process sugar, their kidney turns it into fat

Kidneys do not turn sugar into fat.

restrict carbs to a minimum and without a diet they will slowly lose the weight

That is a diet. They will lose weight if they consume fewer calories than they spend.

This nonsense is a great example of the awful ideas that people have about dietary science, and how poorly the truth is being communicated.

I don't know why I typed kidney. Obviously, I meant liver. There is no edit link so I can't fix it.

Make fat feel guilty about their weight and get them to continue eating sugar and corn syrup has only made the epidemic bigger in the last decades.
