| Rimonabant: Miracle Drug for Obesity | | 2008-05-29 12:58:21 | | Rimonabant decreases appetite, weight, and may cause some nausea, depression and anxiety. For weight control, and therefore its effects on obesity and incidence of diabetes/metabolic syndrome and ultimately the chance of decreasing heart disease in our ever expanding population, rimonabant or a drug like it may have some uses.The drug has been well tested for the past two years on men who have a waist circumference of greater than 40 inches and women who have a waist circumference of greater than 35 inches. This drug however may not ever come to this country due to the possibility that depressive side effects may lead to increased suicide (not the way we want to decrease weight in our population, or suits in our courtrooms).Unfortunately, doctors are left with few choices when suggesting weight reduction to overweight and obese patients. The current available drugs (orlistat and sibutramine) are actually very weak, and most have not been documented to keep weight off after one year. Le | | By: Complete Health Blog | | |

| A Guide To Child Obesity | | 2008-05-21 11:21:00 | | Until the new millennium obesity was typically an adult problem, now regrettably obesity is widespread amongst children and adolescents throughout the world. Each and every year the numbers of new cases being reported are increasing, giving rise to a new health fear. The term obesity refers to an excess amount of body fat. However the guidelines for measuring obesity in children are difficult since no real tables exist. On average a child’s bodyweight 20% higher than the average for his height is considered obese. Obesity in a child can cause serious health problems, both physically and emotionally. Unfortunately modern living is the main culprit here, an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise contributes to this growing obesity epidemic. The good news however is that we can control this and help reverse the trend. By guiding our children towards a healthier and more nutritious diet plus introducing an enjoyable exercise program.

| Getting Obesity Help | | 2008-05-07 21:20:03 | | Obesity help can come in many shapes and sizes. Family embers and friends can lodge their support by dieting with you or helping you to diet alone. Doctors can help by referring you to a nutritionist and prescribing you some appetite suppressants (also known as diet pills, be wary of them). Nutritionists will help you by coming up with a diet plan which you abide by and then concentrating on an exercise routine when you can manage one.Another new way to help people suffering from obesity is to perform surgical procedures such as extensive gastric bypass; where portions of the stomach are removed, gastric banding; placing what seems like an elastic band around your stomach, panniculectomy; removing pieces of stomach (also known as a tummy tuck). These are just some of the procedures available and are only for use in drastic times.

| Carb Intake, Obesity Tied to Rise in Esophageal Cancers | | 2008-05-02 20:42:35 | | (HealthDay News) -- There may be a link between rising rates of carbohydrate intake and obesity and the increasing number of esophageal cancer cases in the United States, a new study says.Researchers noted that cases of esophageal cancer increased from 300,000 in 1973 to 2.1 million in 2001, which closely mirrors increases in carbohydrate intake and obesity over the same time.Obesity is a major risk factor for many types of cancer, and a diet high in calories from refined carbohydrates is a common contributor to obesity, the researchers noted. They also said no other studied nutrients were found to correlate with esophageal cancer rates."If we can reverse the trends in refined carbohydrate intake and obesity in the U.S., we may be able to reduce the incidence of esophageal cancer," study senior author Dr. Li Li, an assistant professor in the department of family medicine and the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals Health System, said | | By: General Detoxification & Cleansing Blog | | |

It’s well understood that consuming more calories than you expend through exercise and daily activities causes weight gain. But with about one in every three American adults now considered obese, researchers are attempting to identify additional factors that affect a person’s tendency to gain and retain excess weight. In the April issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers from Mayo Clinic Arizona and Arizona State University examine the role that bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract play in regulating weight and the development of obesity.

There is evident need to search for new treatment strategies dealing with the opposite aspect of the energy balance: increasing energy consumption. Researchers at Maastricht University have now found a way to increase cells’ energy consumption: mitochondrial uncoupling.

One thing you can do is cut out the cola in your diet. A new study shows that drinking cola can cause kidney problems.Drinking cola is already well known for contributing to two common problems: obesity and diabetes. There are so many calories in just one can of cola that it is quite easy to drink a few cans and quickly get hundreds of calories.And those hundreds of calories are "empty" calories--no other nutrients go along with them. Cola is nutritionally "empty" with little more than calories and caffeine and can even be called anti-nutrition.This kind of anti-nutrition also puts you at risk for diabetes, especially Type 2 diabetes which often develops because of a poor diet. Fortunately that poor diet is something that can be changed more easily than some other diseases can be treated.But there is also a lot of phosphoric acid in colas, and that has been shown to cause kidney stones and other kidney ailment | | By: Health Care Guide | | |

The article tell us that today, 18 % of children are obese or overweight. This percentage number is really high to me, for every 1000 children, there are 180 children are obese. Wow that's really scaring me.What is Childhood Obesity?From Wikipedia, Childhood obesity is:a medical condition that affects children. It is characterized by a weight well above the mean for their height and age and a body mass index well above the norm. Childhood obesity is considered by many to be an "epidemic" in Western countries, in particular, the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. Over 15% of American children are currently considered obese, and the number is growing You see the statistics from Wikipedia above that over 15% of USA/America Children have a problem with obesity.You could read the full article about childhood obesity statistic which tell us that today 18% children are obese below:Staggering Childhood Obesity StatisticsBy Jessica AChildhood obesity can be difficult to deal with.

The number of obese children has tripled since the 80s. 18 percent of children today are obese.An obese adolescent has a 70% chance of being an obese adult, according to childhood obesity statistics. That is an alarming amount of kids. The simple fact is that we have to teach our children about nutrition and instruct them on how to eat.Children who eat too much sugars and fats are learning bad eating habits that will stay with them when they become adults.

| Childhood Obesity Revisited | | 2007-12-11 13:47:00 | | The other day, my kids reminded me of the dessert policy I instituted when they were young. They could choose to either have: 2 small items, like two cookies, or 8 M&M’s. Don’t ask me how I came up with this crazy formula. But I do remember firmly adhering to it and except on special occasions they knew never to even ask for special dispensation. When they were too young to know any differently, there were no sweets or junk food in our house, at least not for them. As they got old enough to know better, I declared that complete abstinence would create cookie monsters, so “that food” became permissible but only in a natural, controlled rhythm. I do admit to sometimes finding empty candy wrappers and chip bags under couch cushions and under beds, but I allowed these digressions to pass without confrontation. I attributed it to youthful spunkiness and small acts of rebellion - allowing the guilty parties to believe that they had gotten away with something. Instead, maybe it should have been my wake up call.By the time my kids became adolescents, they could easily have been labeled “chunky”, or “full”, or dare I say, overweight? Although I knew they weren’t skinny, they were very active, avidly playing all kinds of sports and most importantly, they had great self esteem, lots of friends and definitely no body image issues. Today, when I look back at their pictures they were definitely “overweight”. Back then I grappled with how to deal with the problem. Or was it a problem? They were far from obese, lead busy, active lives and quite honestly were very happy. The last thing that I wanted for my kids to believe was that their size mattered. Who's problem was it really?So we framed it with discussions about eating healthy and the importance of being fit. We always had healthy meals and rarely ate fast food. Removing the sweets and chips from our cupboards was not the answer. I believed that teaching my kids how to eat in moderation and to enjoy food | | By: Minivan Diaries | | |

| Childhood Obesity - A Threat to our Public Health | | 2007-12-10 11:05:00 | | About 33% of US children and adolescents between the age of 2 and 19 years old are overweight and 17.1% of those are obese “If we don’t take steps to reverse course, the children of each successive generation seem destined to be fatter and sicker than their parents.” Dr. David Ludwig made this statement in an editorial he wrote in a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, in response to the findings of two published studies of childhood obesity. Both studies looked at the effects that childhood obesity will have on the future health of overweight children. One study followed 277,000 Danish students for decades by evaluating detailed health records. The study found,…the more overweight a child was between ages 7 and 13, the greater the risk of heart disease in adulthood. The older the children are, the higher the chance for later heart risk. So, for example, a boy who was heavier than his peers at age 7 had a 5 percent increased risk for later heart disease, but a boy who was heavier than his peers at age 13 had a 17 percent greater risk. If these findings aren’t startling enough, there’s more. The most obese child in the Danish study was at a 33% greater risk for heart disease in adulthood. Yet, the fattest boys in the entire Danish sample are barely considered overweight by US standards. Barely considered overweight by US standards! Think about the implications of that finding. This means that the risk for adult heart disease for Americans is most definitely even greater than 33%. Now combine this information with the findings out of UCSF which state that: if the number of overweight children continues to increase at current rates, then by the year 2035, the rate of heart disease will rise to 16 percent or as many as 100,000 extra cases of heart disease attributable to childhood obesity.

| Obesity and Prostate Health | | 2007-11-27 00:51:00 | | Over the past 40 years, the rate of obesity has been exploding in the United States. A massive 65% of adults in the US were classified as overweight or obese, with a body mass index over the accepted normal of 25. More disturbing is the 31% of children who are classified as overweight or obese. Since 40% of Americans do not exercise regularly, there seems to be little hope of this changing in the near future. This dangerous combination of increased food consumption and decreased physical activity has taken a tragic toll on Americans and has resulted in increased rates of a multitude of diseases, particularly diabetes. It is literally a major health crisis looming over America, adding to an already stained healthcare system. Obesity is also bloating healthcare cost, making healthcare in the US among the most expensive in the world.

Research from the University of Leicester in England has found that the booming fitness industry has had very little effect on the obesity epidemic.
According to the researchers, despite the increased popularity in recent years of gyms and private health clubs it has done little to dent the UK's growing weight problem.
A study by the research team has found that whereas wealthier people are attracted to join such organisations, the less well-off are left struggling to find ways to combat weight problems.

| Obesity Doesn't Always Equal Diabetes | | 2007-09-10 23:59:00 | | Obesity doesn't mean a person is destined to develop diabetes, experiments in mice suggest. Instead, it may all depend on where the fat is stored.Mice that overate and were very obese still didn't become diabetic, because the activity of two hormones let them store extra calories in fat tissue rather than in their livers or heart muscle."What this mouse model shows is what we have appreciated clinically for a while," said lead researcher Philipp Scherer, a professor of internal medicine and director of the Touchstone Center for Diabetes Research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas."Basically, it shows that for individuals who have the ability to expand their adipose [fat] tissue mass appropriately for the number of calories they take up, those individuals fare much better than someone who has a more reduced capacity to expand their adipose tissue," Scherer said.If fat isn't stored in the adipose tissue, it ends up in the liver and muscles. That, in turn, causes significant insulin resistance that can lead to diabetes, Scherer explained.In their experiments, Scherer's team showed that in genetically altered mice, an excess of adiponectin, a hormone linked to sensitivity to insulin, and a deficiency in leptin, a hormone that suppresses appetite, causes the mice to store excess calories in fat tissue instead of in liver, heart or muscle tissues, according to the report in the Aug. 23 online edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.Scherer noted that in people as in mice, where fat is stored is largely determined by genetics. "You have a lot of obese individuals who are not type 2 diabetics, and you have lean individuals that can be type 2 diabetics," he said. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease, and it is most often tied to overweight or obesity.All of this means that measuring fat as an indicator of general health might not hold up anymore, Scherer said.

| A Modest Proposal to Fight Obesity | | 2007-08-08 07:00:00 | | Tax Foundation Summer Research Fellow Adam Creighton, responding to calls for taxes on fatty foods, has a modest proposal to fight obesity:If the government insists on trying to reduce obesity, then a tax on fatty foods is not the way to do it. It's not well targeted, it's not simple, and it's not transparent. In other words, it fails every test of sound tax policy. Proposed fat taxes target a list of foods, usually starting with candy and then proceeding to butter, beef, etc. If adding cost to fatty food actually reduced consumption among potentially fat people and if these growing adults didn't just bulk up on slightly less-fatty food (which becomes relatively cheaper), then maybe fat taxes could be effective. But this rosy outcome is unlikely. Slim people like fatty food, too, and there's no justice whatsoever in making them pay more.What about simplicity? A fat tax requires assigning a tax rate to every food product. Who is going to do this? Presumably, some government age | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Obesity - a weighty issue | | 2007-08-02 07:44:40 | |
What’s the problem?
In May of 2002, the World Health Organization announced a rise in obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Remarkably, this occurred not only in affluent developed nations - but also among developing nations in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, where malnutrition was once the major dietary issue.
The International Obesity Task Force currently estimates that 22 million of the world’s children under five years of age are overweight or obese.
The picture is worse for adults. Worldwide, 300 million of us are obese - and at least 750 million
Severe obesity is defined as having a body mass index (BMI) (a standard measure of weight to height) of at least 40 which typically translates into at least 100 pounds overweight.
Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer.

| New Study Wastes Tax Dollars to Determine that Obesity Is 'Socially Contagious' | | 2007-07-26 03:30:00 | | Add to you list of government waste and worthless studies: Social Scientists have determined that being friends with fat people makes you fat.

I should thank the government for taking money from my paycheck to pay these pathetic scientific posers.First of all, it is about time that the liberals in this Country make a decision. Either we are a poor Country, or we are an obese Country. We cannot have both. We are the only civilization in the history of the world where our poor people can eat so much that they become obese. I am sure that the starving North Korean citizen who literally has no food to eat only wished he had such a problem.If anything, this study demonstrates that it is our government that is overfed, not the people.

Having a lot of extra fat on your body causes a huge number of health problems. In fact, it’s more than reasonable to say that being fat causes most of the health problems we know about today, and many others we’re not even aware of yet.
Obesity is an epidemic that grows for both children and adults each and every day. And that epidemic keeps leading us further and further down the road to serious health problems.

Why are we consciously killing our beloved, precious children? I know the majority of us love them and wish them long lives.
