Born to be Obese?
2008-04-04 13:25:00 The brain circuitry that controls appetite might be wired differently in some people, and that could predispose them to obesity, researchers suggest.The study was conducted in rats, not humans, and yet it could ultimately lead to novel obesity treatments, said Philip Smith, director of the Office of Obesity Research at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases."It is not just about drugs that modify short-term appetite," he said, "there may be drugs that stimulate development of the appropriate neural pathways. So, it is an exciting, but very early, time in this field."The study was published in the Cell Metabolism. Sebastien Bouret, an assistant professor of neuroscience at the University of Southern California, and his colleagues examined neural circuits emanating from the appetite, hunger and body-weight control center of the brain -- the so-called arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARH) -- in a series of rats bred to be either prone to, or resistant ...

This bill would make it legal to discriminate against people based on how they look. Weâve all seen those âowner reserves the right to refuse serviceâ signs out there in the world. And Iâm sure some of those owners refuse to serve people based on their prejudices. But those are individual business owners acting on their own accord. This i...

Obese And Smokers Cheaper For Society
2008-02-06 14:00:00 A new study shows that overweight people and smokers aren't actually the big drain on the health care system we've thought them to be. Actually, it's the skinny healthy people!The researchers found that from age 20 to 56, obese people racked up the most expensive health costs. But because both the smokers and the obese people died sooner than the healthy group, it cost less to treat them in the long run. Emphasis added. Should society being try to help out those addicted to food and cigarettes? Yes, but we shouldn't do it because we think we're saving money.Source: The Consumerist

Ineffective Diet Pills Have Other Benefits For Obese Users
2008-01-14 00:24:00 Many diet pills in the market today are promising faster rates of reducing body fats or losing weight, but according to experts some of these so-called 'magic drugs' may not be as effective to every patient.

2007-12-30 18:24:00 Eating a high-fat, high-carb fast food meal produces damaging cellular changes that are greater and longer-lasting in obese people than in normal-weight people, a new study shows.

Obese Santa Claus
2007-12-21 06:03:00 I was listening to Fly FM's Big Bang Breakfast show a couple of days ago and the DJs discussed about what is considered fat. Is Queen Latifah considered fat? Is Santa Claus obese? Since X'mas is just around the corner, I'll take Santa Claus obesity as my topic today. Since Santa is a favourite Christmas icon among kids and adults, some people suggested that we should have a slimmer Santa to send healthy message to everyone during this holiday of the year. Well, perhaps the animal activists too might think it's time for Rudolph and the rest of the flying reindeers to have a breather from pulling the heavy sleigh with the obese Santa on it.With the climate change in North Pole, perhaps one day, Santa might consider to lose weight.

Soda companies blame video games for obese children
2007-12-18 11:07:00 As mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom proposed charging big stores a fee when they sell sugar- sweet soda, the American Beverage Association (ABA) has decided to go out and point the finger at video games for the city's obesity problem. According to The San Francisco Chronicle, Newsom's proposal would put an as yet-to-be- defined surcharge on all drinks with high- fructose corn syrup, which puts the sweet pop in most nondiet sodas and many other food products. The syrup also puts on the pounds, something city officials say strains the health care system, reported the International Tribune Herald. However, the soft drink companies called the plan a "flawed strategy." "It makes no sense to single out any one single cause of obesity, which is a complex problem," said Kevin Keane, a senior vice president of ABA. The ABA, which represents the U.S. beverage industry of producers and bottlers of soft drinks, bottled water, and other nonalcoholic beverages, said video g...

Adjusting PSA Scores For Obese Men Or Cancers May Be Missed
2007-12-06 09:45:00 "Obese men have more blood circulating throughout their bodies than normal weight men, and as a result, the concentration of prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, in the blood -- the gold standard for detecting prostate cancer -- can become diluted," said Stephen Freedland, M.D., a Duke urologist and senior researcher on the study.* "We've known for a while that obese men tend to have lower PSA scores than normal weight men, but our study really proposes a reason why this happens, and points to the need for an adjustment in the way we interpret PSA scores that will take body weight into account. If not, we may be missing a large number of cancers each year." read more

Lifeline for the obese in India!

Doctors in India are now offering a lifeline to fast food addicts and couch potatoes, whose mass of fatty tissues is touching the obesity meter. It's Bariatric or weight loss surgery which helps a obese to get back in shape by tinkering with the size of the stomachs. A person with a bio mass index of 35.2 is considered obese by doctors. "It is not liposuction. Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure in which the stomach is reduced to limit the intake of food and lose weight in the process," says Dr Sandeep Malhotra of the Obesity Control Team at the Artemis Hospital in Gurgaon. read more
