TV bombards children with commercials for high-fat and high-sugar foodsNovember 4, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior Childhood obesity in the United States is reaching epidemic proportions. With more than one fourth of advertising on daytime and prime time television devoted to foods and beverages and continuing questions about the role television plays in obesity Health-centered weight control method shows promiseNovember 4, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of the American Dietetic Association Most weight-control strategies emphasize energy-restricted diets and increased physical activity -- and most are not effective over the long term. In a study of a "weight-acceptance" intervention, researchers found that there could be long-term beneficial effects on certain eating behaviors using a weight-acceptance intervention approach. New scientific study indicates that eating quickly is associated with overeatingNovember 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism According to a new study, eating a meal quickly, as compared to slowly, curtails the release of hormones in the gut that induce feelings of being full. The decreased release of these hormones, can often lead to overeating Lap band surgery effective for morbidly obese childrenNovember 3, 2009 - Children's National Medical Center / Journal of American College of Surgeons A surgeon at Children's National Medical Center and his colleagues from New York University have found laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding improves the health of morbidly obese adolescents. The study involved nearly 50 girls and boys ages 14-17. Addressing obesity via the 'energy gap'November 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of the American Dietetic Association James O. Hill, professor of pediatrics and medicine and director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado-Denver, is co-founder of America on the Move, a national weight gain prevention initiative that aims to inspire Americans to make small changes in how much they eat and how much they move to prevent weight gain. Children who often drink full-fat milk weigh lessNovember 3, 2009 - Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden Eight-year-old children who drink full-fat milk every day have a lower BMI than those who seldom drink milk. This is not the case for children who often drink medium-fat or low-fat milk. How saturated fatty acids 'anger' the immune system (and how to stop them)November 3, 2009 - EurekAlert / Cell Metabolism Researchers have new evidence to explain how saturated fatty acids, which soar in those who are obese, can lead the immune system to respond in ways that add up to chronic, low-grade inflammation. The new results could lead to treatments designed to curb that inflammatory state, and the insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes that come with it. Decrease in physical activity may not be a factor in increased obesity rates among adolescentsNovember 2, 2009 - EurekAlert / Obesity Reviews Decreased physical activity may have little to do with the recent spike in obesity rates among US adolescents. Slimming gene regulates body fatNovember 2, 2009 - EurekAlert / EMBO Journal Scientists at the University of Bonn have discovered a previously unknown fruit fly gene that controls the metabolism of fat. Larvae in which this gene is defective lose their entire fat reserves. Mammals carry a group of genes that are structurally very similar. The scientists therefore have hopes in new medicines with which obesity could be fought. Obesity significantly increases side effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy in lung cancer patientsNovember 2, 2009 - 51st ASTRO Annual Meeting Obesity, not the amount of radiation given, is the greatest factor in whether early-stage lung cancer patients develop chest wall pain after receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy to the chest wall, with obese patients being more than twice as likely to develop chronic pain compared to those who have less body weight |
