With the U.S. Surgeon General calling obesity an epidemic, legislators nationwide are offering measures to encourage healthy food choices and ban the worst temptations. Skeptics say government should stay away from trying to legislate something as personal as what we eat. But supporters say they can't ignore a growing public health problem or how it drives the ever-rising cost of health care.

An American Institute for Cancer Research study sought to see how much Americans knew about a link between obesity and the risk for cancer. The institute and World Cancer Research Fund presented the data Thursday at a scientific conference on diet and cancer in Washington. The results of a June poll of 1,205 adults show that most Americans know their chances of getting heart disease and diabetes rise when they are overweight, but just 25 percent of those polled knew the risk of cancer also increases.

Obesity and Diet If your weight is substantially above what is healthy for a person with your body composition, genetic background, and overall health status (based on other risk factors you might have), you may be considered obese. Obesity is a more serious condition than just being a little overweight because of the increased risk of: heart diseases stroke high blood pressure diabetes arthritis cancer other disorders. Your doctor can give you a good sense of whether or not your weight puts you in the category of being obese. As a rule of thumb, you might find the weight categories shown in the following tables to be useful.

Map: Fattest cities in the U.S. (CNN) People who are fighting the battle of the bulge may have a new weapon. A Utah company says it has discovered a gene that causes obesity in humans, and the firm says the gene can be controlled. CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta discussed Wednesday with anchor Paula Zahn whether this development may be the answer for people trying to slim down. GUPTA: First of all, 61 percent of adults in America were overweight, 31 percent were obese in 2000. [It's a] real problem. We also know that if both of your parents were obese, you have a 25 to 30 percent chance yourself of becoming obese. That certainly argues for a genetic component to obesity as well. That is certainly what a company named Myriad Genetics was looking at. This is a company out of Salt Lake City that has isolated what they're calling the HOB1 gene. That stands for human obesity gene. This is a gene that has previously been isolated in animals, but this is the first time it's actually been isolated in a human model.

Their work, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, is the latest in a string of studies warning that American teenagers are increasingly putting their health at risk by consuming too much junk food. "We found that for every additional serving per day of soft drink consumed, the risk of becoming obese increased by about 50 percent," researcher David Ludwig of Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, told Reuters. MESSAGE BOARD Are you concerned about your child's weight and nutrition? Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. The U.S. government has become so concerned about overweight children that last year it issued new growth charts to help parents and doctors identify kids at risk of becoming obese.

Annals of Internal Medicine LONDON, England (Reuters) Medical experts have called for a new assessment of how weight-related health risks in Asians are measured which could push up the number of overweight and obese people worldwide to 1.7 billion. The new figure, which would be 50 percent higher than the current estimate is based on recommendations to lower the threshold for Asians because of their special vulnerability to weight-related disorders. Professor Philip James, the chairman of the London-based International Obesity TaskForce (IOTF), said the global standard for measuring overweight/obesity, the Body Mass Index (BMI), is based on western criteria and needs to be adjusted for Asians. "The point of reducing the values is that it will be an altering point which you give to both the public and doctors," James said in an interview.

76. Obesity, Poor Diet Harmful To Liver obesity, poor diet harmful to liver. By Yi Yao, Shanghai Star. 200109-20. FATTY liver has become a threatening disease,especially http://app1.chinadaily.com.cn/star/2001/0920/he15-1.html

Obesity, poor diet harmful to liver By Yi Yao, Shanghai Star. 2001-09-20 FATTY liver has become a threatening disease,especially for young and middle-aged office workers. According to a recent survey conducted by Shanghai No.2 Medical University, about 12.9 per cent of office workers suffer from fatty livers. Medical experts said their irregular and unbalanced diets, obesity and inadequate physical exercise can be blamed for the high incidence of the disease. What is fatty liver? Fatty liver is an excessive accumulation of fat inside the cells of the liver. Normally, fat accounts for less than 5 per cent of the liver's weight. Fat accumulation above this level is regarded as a fatty liver. The condition generally produces no symptoms, but it occasionally causes jaundice, nausea, vomiting, pain and abdominal tenderness. Although excess fat in the liver is abnormal, it rarely causes damage by itself. However, in some cases, it can be a sign that other more harmful conditions are present. Fatty liver may be associated with or lead to inflammation of the liver. This can cause scarring and hardening of the liver, which, when it becomes extensive, is called cirrhosis, a very serious condition. Causes of fatty liver Although it seems logical that eating fatty foods causes a fatty liver, this is not the case. The liver plays an important role in the metabolism or breakdown of fats. Fatty liver develops when something goes wrong in the process of fat metabolism, but it is still not known what causes fat to build-up in the liver.

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) Americans are not just getting fatter, they are ballooning to extremely obese proportions at an alarming rate. The number of extremely obese American adults those who are at least 100 pounds overweight has quadrupled since the 1980s to about 4 million. That works out to about 1 in every 50 adults. Extreme obesity once was thought to be a rare, distinct condition whose prevalence remained relatively steady over time. The new study contradicts that thinking and suggests that it is at least partly due to the same kinds of behavior overeating and under-activity that have contributed to the epidemic number of Americans with less severe weight problems.

August 30, 1999 Web posted at: 5:02 p.m. EDT (2102 GMT) By Laura Lane (WebMD) It's been four years since scientists first announced that they had found a hormone that could be the answer to the cries of the obese. Leptin, as scientists dubbed the hormone, helped obese mice to lose weight and possibly could do the same in people. As clinical trials progress, though, leptin is not looking to be quite as effective as first thought, said Dr. Daniel Porte Jr. of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, who has been studying obesity for more than 20 years. ALSO New hormone may help treat obesity The hormone has been effective in the 5 percent of obese people who lack the ability to make leptin, he said. Otherwise, for the vast majority of the obese, the hormone has been largely ineffective in reducing weight. In fact, because fat cells produce leptin, most obese people have high levels of the hormone, which encourages the brain to make alpha-MSH, which goes on to regulate body weight somehow.

NI_MPU('middle'); The New York medical examiner's records, which have been published by the Wall Street Journal , state that Dr Atkins weighed 18 and a half stone when he died last April after being injured in a fall on an icy New York City street. At 6ft tall, Dr Atkins, 72, would have qualified as obese, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention's body mass index calculator. The news calls into question his cause of death and whether Dr Atkins followed the controversial diet, which has reversed conventional wisdom by prescribing meats and cheeses while eschewing starchy foods that contain a lot of carbohydrates. The examiner's report said that Dr Atkins had suffered a previous heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, all conditions that are related to obesity.
