Tobacco and Obesity Epidemics: Not So different After All?

BMJ volume 328, pp 1558-60

Global strategies similar to those used against the tobacco industry are
needed to tackle the obesity epidemic, argue researchers in this week's
British Medical Journal (BMJ) [24 June 2004].



Its not surprising. In recent weeks I've responded to posts claiming
- wine doesn't contain sugar
- low carb diet implies increasing meat in the diet
- low carb diet implies eating manufactured "low carb" supermarket foods

Not only do you have to worry about the "Food" industry, but there are
some real sharks and mental cases in the "Diet Industry" that use the
same weapons of ignorance and false facts and selective "studies".

You may have virtually no safe friends in this food/diet battle for
your mind and wallet.
