Research about the prevention of obesity should consider infancy, as well as childhood.
Dr Janis Baird
An effective battle against obesity should be fought with personal responsibility in health care, not by government decree.

Rep. Leslie Mortimer
There was lots of information available about the impact of childhood obesity but relatively little on girls' attitudes on contributing factors like health, diet, weight and exercise. So that's what the researchers decided to focus on.

Lynn Rosenberg
You're not going to be able to find one thing that is going to be the be-all and end-all in obesity in kids. I don't think any one thing is going to have a strong effect, but if we don't start to do some of these things now, we don't have a chance in hell of reducing obesity.
Cathy Nonas
Substantial reassessment is needed of the importance of obesity for cardiovascular disease in most regions of the world.

Graham Colditz
The real solution to childhood obesity lies in changing our built environment. There's no other way to approach it.
Dr. Goutham Rao
It is a disaster that is happening. We have made so many health advances that are being obscured and diminished by the increase in obesity and overweight. If not for that, there would be stunning achievements in good health.

The take-home message is that lower-fat diets don't cause weight gain, and for weight maintenance this is a reasonable diet for people to follow. If we could just get people to maintain their weight, we'd be halfway there on this nation's obesity epidemic.
Barbara V. Howard
Childhood obesity is a huge systemic problem. It's a pandemic to a certain extent.
Cathy Nonas
It would be really unfortunate if we became more complacent about obesity in blacks than in whites.

Leah Whigham
With an epidemic of obesity and associated type 2 diabetes round the corner, there is a greater need to focus on the management of chronic conditions including heart and circulatory disease.
Peter Weissberg
We can't say for sure it's causing obesity in humans. We just know there's some pretty strong evidence at this point.
Leah Whigham
We already know this, certainly, and we also know that poverty and obesity are very clearly linked. These researchers are just looking at the issue again, and clarifying it and making it scientific.
Cathy Nonas
We found that obesity was associated with a threefold increase in SCD1 expression in obese muscle, as well as a threefold higher level of SCD1 enzyme, compared to lean muscle.

Duane Alexander
There really isn't an organ in the body that is safe from the effects of obesity - and the liver is a vital organ.
David Haslam
There are far more satisfying explanations for epidemic obesity. We have more calories available per capita per day than ever before in history. And more and more of those calories are packaged in highly processed, flavor-enhanced, processed foods.
Dr. David L. Katz
We've studied this from many perspectives in women and in men, and we get the same answer: It's not the obesity, it's the fitness.
Steven Blair
Obesity is a very complex disease, and this metabolic pathway does not fully explain obesity, but it is a likely contributor.
Deborah Muoio
We have a huge obesity problem -- 10 to 20 percent. It's an epidemic; it's only going to get worse if we don't do something about it.

Deborah Muoio
This obesity epidemic is not an individual problem, it's not a family problem, it's not a medical problem. It's a societal problem with grave implications for us in terms of health care and health care costs.
Susan Lynch
Obesity continues to rise in adults. And that risk has increased in children, too. Interventions should begin immediately for children who are already overweight at these young ages.
Pamela Salsberry
As far as DNA testing, we're just at the beginning of that universe. Pretty soon, though, we'll know whether someone is predisposed to cancer, alcoholism, obesity, baldness and who knows what else.
