As an example, on p.56 she talks about a woman who "was allegedly told by her doctor that her obesity prevented subway 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. Another example is subway on p.64, when Poulton cites "20 deaths...within the first 6 years...", referring to the introduction to the US of liposuction. What she fails to mention is 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 somewhat.Having said that, the book does highlight the very unhealthy obsession with weight-loss that is now pandemic. |

This should never be forgotten or ignored when discussing obesity.Also, |
