Could a secret ingredient in junk food help the fight against obesity?
2008-02-03 14:44:00 By REBECCA CAMBER Scientists have found a way to make snacks keep hunger at bay for longer. They are working on a plant extract which could be added to fatty foods, such as ready meals and burgers, to suppress the appetite. It is hoped it will help dieters stick to smaller portions and combat obesity. Combatting obesity: A new ingrediant could be added to fatty foods to supress appetite The ingredient, found naturally in most plants, seeds and cereals, could be added to fast food to ward off hunger for up to 12 hours. The compound works by coating fat before it is digested, stopping the enzymes that naturally break it down from working as fast as usual. This sends a signal to the brain that a person has had enough to eat, even though their stomach may only be half full. Experts at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, who are yet to start tests in humans, hope to work with food manufactures in a couple of years to develop the supplement. They are focusing on lipids ... More About: News , Obesity , Fight , Secret
Obesity Runs Through Blood, Not Mouth
2008-02-03 14:44:00 By Bae Ji-sookStaff ReporterMany of us must have had the experience of grimacing over chubby thighs or waists, vowing to go on a stricter diet. However, a professor claims that much of our ``obesity'' is due to our genes, not the pizzas or hamburgers we ate last night. Prof. Hur Yoon-mi of Chonnam University studied 888 pairs of twins in Korea and hypothesizes that obesity is 80 percent related to genes and 20 percent to other environmental factors. The team recorded the sex, height, weight and body mass index (BMI) of all subjects. The BMI is calculated by dividing one's weight (kilograms) by the square of one's height (meters). Those over 25 are classified as being obese, 18-22.9 as normal and less than 18 as underweight. Hur found that identical twins shared similar BMIs. Female and male identical twins had 88 percent and 83 percent chance of sharing similar BMIs, respectively, while non-identical twins had a respective 42 percent and 33 percent chance of sharing ...

EU brings in compulsory food labelling to curb obesity
2008-01-31 15:37:00 This article appeared in the Guardian on Thursday January 31 2008 on p14 of the UK news section. It was last updated at 00:07 on January 31 2008. The European Union yesterday moved to impose standard nutritional information in food labelling across 27 countries in an attempt to counter the epidemic of obesity in Europe, but disappointed some UK health charities by not making the "traffic light" system mandatory. Under new rules unveiled by the European commission, all prepackaged food will need to clearly display amounts of sugar, salt, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, and energy on the front of packaging. The new rules, announced by Markos Kyprianou, the EU's health commissioner, represented a defeat for Europe's powerful food industry, which lobbied heavily for a system of self-regulation. The alcohol industry, however, scored a victory by being exempted from the measures, with the exception of "alcopops". Their packaging will need to list... More About: News , Food , Obesity
OSTEOPOROSIS A 'SIGNIFICANT' PROBLEM FOR MEN KNOW THIS
2008-01-31 15:37:00 By CAROLYN POIROT McCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE It's no wonder that most consumers and many doctors consider osteoporosis a "women's health" issue: More than 8 million women in this country suffer from it. It's often termed "postmenopausal" osteoporosis, and for years the only medical treatment was female hormone replacement therapy. But more than 2 million men have osteoporosis, too. And an additional 12 million have lower than normal bone density, or osteopenia, putting them at increased risk for osteoporosis. "Osteoporosis is a significant problem in men and much less appreciated than it is in women," says Dr. Glenn Cunningham, an endocrinologist and professor of medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "Prevalence and fracture rates are not as great. However, when men have a hip fracture, it is really devastating. One-third are dead within a year." Osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annu... More About: News , Problem
Overweight young mend their ways
2008-01-31 15:37:00 By Siobhan Ryan Mark Spall, 11, and his mother Marissa are among families who have been helped by the programme This week it emerged Sussex is sitting on an obesity timebomb with large numbers of children and adults being classed as dangerousy overweight. One Sussex MP believes it is time the NHS made gym membership affordable for all. SIOBHAN RYAN reports. A number of MPs have called for gym exercise to be made available on the NHS for those who can't afford the membership fees. Hastings and Rye MP Michael Foster believes tax relief on gym membership fees would be another incentive for those unsure about making the commitment. He said: "The tax system is a useful way of encouraging people into good behaviour. "We know that those who go to the gym are likely to improve their health and so reduce reliance on the NHS - so tax relief could even end up saving taxpayers' money in the long run."
