What is the theory that describes how an enzyme works or bonds?
The theory of the enzyme is really quite simple-patronisingly easy really. So firstly we start off with the Lipese enzyme which breaks down fat-quite usefull really with todays growing obeseity epidemic, then we move on to carbohydrase enzyme which breaks down carbohydrate-(people which suffer from diabetes lack in this particular enzyme). Expert scientists believe that in a few years the number of enzymes in the body will rapidly increase.

What causes obeseity?
Refined (processed) carbohydrates, plus all artificially flavoured or colored foods, sodas, and other sugar and fat filled foods are major causes of obesity. Overweight and obesity are the result of a lack of energy balance - that is, a chronic excess of energy intake (food and beverage consumption) over energy expenditure (physical activity). Although some people are more genetically susceptible to weight gain than others, the rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity in recent years has occurred too quickly to be explained by genetic changes and most experts believe it is due to living in an increasingly 'obesogenic' environment - one that promotes over consumption of refined carbohydrate foods, sodas, sugary drinks, and limits opportunities for physical activity.
