Surgeons General, STOP Obesity Alliance announce America has reached tipping point on obesitySeptember 9, 2009 - EurekAlert / Strategies to Overcome and Prevent (STOP) Obesity Alliance The two most recent Surgeons General of the United States, David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., FAAFP, FACPM, FACP and Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., FACS, today led the Strategies to Overcome and Prevent (STOP) Obesity Alliance in urging policymakers to take direct action in health reform to address obesity and the chronic diseases associated with it Rats move toward the food but do not eatSeptember 8, 2009 - University of Missouri-Columbia / Behavioral Neuroscience Using an animal model of binge eating, researchers discovered that deactivating the basolateral amygdala, a brain region involved in regulating emotion, specifically blocked consumption of a fatty diet. Surprisingly, it had no effect on the rat wanting to look for the food repeatedly Vet says owners should exercise with their dogs based on specific needs to prevent obesitySeptember 8, 2009 - EurekAlert / Kansas State University People and their dogs both need physical activity to fight obesity, and there are many exercises that owner and pet can do together that can improve their health and their relationship. Dr. Susan Nelson, K-State veterinarian and assistant professor of clinical sciences, said dogs, like people, reap many benefits from exercise. She said there are physical and mental health advantages for the dog owner and the dog when they exercise together Obesity, alcohol consumption and smoking increase the risk of second breast cancerSeptember 8, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Clinical Oncology A new study has found that obesity, alcohol use and smoking all significantly increase the risk of second breast cancer among breast cancer survivors Nonagenarian researcher petitions FDA to ban trans fatsSeptember 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Atherosclerosis Fred Kummerow, a 94-year-old University of Illinois veterinary biosciences professor emeritus who still conducts research on the health effects of trans fats in the diet, filed a petition with the FDA last month to ban trans fats from food Current national primary care policies for childhood obesity need to be improvedSeptember 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / British Medical Journal Current primary care policies aimed at reducing obesity and increasing physical activity in children do not work and are very costly to run Mice can eat 'junk' and not get fatSeptember 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Cell A new study identifies a gene that springs into action in response to a high fat diet. Mice that lack the gene become essentially immune to growing obese, regardless of their eating habits Newly discovered road map of leptin explains its regulation of bone and appetiteSeptember 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Cell New research has illuminated a previously unknown leptin-serotonin pathway in the brain that simultaneously promotes appetite and bone mass accrual Exercise minimizes weight regain by reducing appetite and burning fat first, carbs laterSeptember 2, 2009 - American Journal of Physiology: Reg, Integrative & Comp Physiology Exercise helps prevent weight regain after dieting by reducing appetite and by burning fat before burning carbohydrates. Burning fat first and storing carbohydrates for use later in the day may minimize overeating by signaling a feeling of fullness to the brain. Exercise also prevents the increase in the number of fat cells that occurs during weight regain, challenging the belief that the number of fat cells cannot be altered by dietary or lifestyle changes Rise in weight-loss drugs prescribed to combat childhood obesitySeptember 2, 2009 - EurekAlert / British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology Thousands of children and adolescents are using anti-obesity drugs that in the UK are only licensed for use by adults.
