Viime viikonlopun lihavuuskonferenssi Portugalin Portossa jäi anniltaan laihaksi. Eikä ihme, kun katsoo ketkä lystin maksoivat.
Zoe Harcombe: Kekwick & Pawan: is a calorie a calorie?Lainaa:
I was hoping that this week’s note would report breakthroughs from the European Congress on Obesity, which was held in Porto, Portugal, between May 17-20th 2017. However, the outputs were very disappointing. The programme overview can be seen here. The major sponsor was Novo Nordisk. Their approach to obesity is described here: “Novo Nordisk is searching for molecules that can help people to expend more energy”. There were four principal sponsors: Danone Nutricia Research, which seeks to provide ‘cradle to grave’ alternatives to real food; Ethicon, whose slogan is “Shaping the future of surgery”; the International Sweeteners Association (enough said); and Orexigen, a pharmaceutical company trying to get people to eat less. The top five industry sponsors of the conference thus cover eat less, do more, drugs and surgery – that pretty much sums up the options on offer for obesity currently.
