What she fails to mention is twisted humor the context - how many procedures were performed in this period? Is that 20 deaths out of 200 procedures? 2400? 24000? It's inconsistencies such as these which demean the author's credibility twisted humor somewhat.Having said that, the book does highlight the very twisted humor unhealthy obsession with weight-loss that is now pandemic. Interestingly (to me at least), the book was written only a year before the diet drugs Redux and Pondimin were taken off the market, after being found to cause significant heart valve damage (along with PPH) - I would be very interested to see an updated issue of the book, if only to see if this is addressed adequately.Do try to obtain a copy though - it's informative for the most, and it's an important book. |
Best Fat Paysites

| whilst the above might indeed be true, there is one major point that Poulton never star seems to fully address - that is, obesity IS a leading cause of heart disease (and therefore death) star around the world, and it IS responsible for a myriad of health problems ranging from diabetes to cancer. This should never be forgotten or ignored when discussing obesity.Also, the author's sources are sometimes taken out of context, and in other examples simply not present at all. As an example, on p.56 she talks about a woman who "was allegedly told by her doctor star that her obesity prevented pregnancy". There is actually more truth to this statement than is conceded to by the author (estrogen is stored in fat cells; the more fat cells you have, generally the more estrogen you have in your body, and unopposed estrogen is a leading cause of anovulation), but this is never addressed. |
