It’s a welcome and long-overdue sign of progress. The world’s medical leaders now affirm what science has shown for years – that #obesity deserves care, not blame. HT: @medwma.bsky.social conscienhealth.org/2025/10/a-tu...
At #FNCE the spotlight on #WeightManagment yesterday made it clear that #GLP1s are transforming the role of dietitians, and opening opportunities to focus even more on diet quality and health. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/glp-...
From #FNCE, good learning yesterday about trends in consumer ideas about food, #nutrition, and #HealthyEating. In case you wondered, people are skeptical and in need of reliable advice. HT: @melissajoyrd.bsky.social conscienhealth.org/2025/10/fnce...
There's a jarring irony in #Costco selling #GLP1s alongside ginormous packs of food. But it points to pressure for change in #FoodMarketing that might actually take hold. HT: @marketplace.org conscienhealth.org/2025/10/now-...
Foot dragging on an indication to prevent #prediabetes from progressing to diabetes is exceedingly frustrating. Caroline Apovian says it clearly in IJO. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/in-f...
With a cranky post, Michael Jensen claimed that his departure from the Obesity journal involved “a cancellation and firing.” He seems to think DEI is part of the issue, too. Not a graceful exit. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/mich...
At the American College of Surgeons annual meeting, surgeons debate the future of surgery for #obesity. But why is this even a question? Maybe because people have a tough time thinking about obesity as a complex chronic disease. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/why-...
Is a #mango a healthier snack than a sugary granola bar? Probably. Will mangoes prevent diabetes? Probably not. Big Mango is pushing hard to position its product with a health halo. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/magi...

A new paper in @thelancet.com Child & Adolescent Health reminds us that we are putting our children at risk by filling the world with #plastics. We must find an alternative to ever-growing exposure to the #EndocrineDisruptingChemicals that come with them. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/putt...
What are these ants doing in #yogurt at the world-famous Alchemist restaurant? Enquiring scientific minds need to know. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/yogu...
This week has presented us with a festival of #FatShaming in politics – from the U.S. Secretary of Defense and from detractors of the President alike. Whatever the source, it's an embarrassment to America. We can do better. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/a-fe...
A press release from the UNC School of Medicine tells us #JunkFood can scramble memory in just four days! All this from a study of mouse neurons and high-fat food pellets. Great clickbait if we overlook the element of #hype. conscienhealth.org/2025/10/junk...
Is our perverse economic environment propelling us toward an overwhelming #health problem with #obesity that is becoming a #wealth issue? conscienhealth.org/2025/09/the-...
Amid all the talk about ultra-processed food "poisoning" our children, Indonesia offers us a harsh reminder that real #FoodPoisoning presents an acute danger if we neglect #FoodSafety. conscienhealth.org/2025/09/a-ha...
Wait. Aren't #prices for #GLP1s coming down? So why are average out-of-pocket costs for them in #Medicare plans twice as high this year? Twisted economics and profiteering explain a lot. conscienhealth.org/2025/09/medi...
What's up with #bimagrumab? This week, @elilillyandcompany.bsky.social stopped a study of it in combination with #tirzepatide for persons with diabetes and obesity. Meanwhile a study in obesity alone continues. This is a drug that's been through a lot. conscienhealth.org/2025/09/this...
Saying “we will never walk away from the world, or our commitment to end chronic disease,” U.S. Health Secretary RFK Jr. declared yesterday that the U.S. is walking away from a global commitment to fight #ChronicDiseases at the United Nations. 🙄 conscienhealth.org/2025/09/frag...
Apple cider vinegar is 50% more effective than semaglutide? This obviously flawed #obesity research took only four months to publish, but 18 months to retract. HT: @retractionwatch.com conscienhealth.org/2025/09/prob...
