Applying Lancet Commission's Concerning Ideas in the Real World - Part 1

from Weight and Healthcare · host Ragen Chastain

I previously wrote about a Lancet Commission that published what I would describe as an opinion piece that they attempted to disguise as legitimate science. In it, they manipulated multiple research processes in order to create the largest possible market for the weight loss industry (in which the authors had massive financial entanglements) by wildly expanding the ways that someone might be “diagnosed” as “ob*se.” You can read about the whole sordid affair here. This has been a longtime goal of the weight loss industry and this group of financially entangled authors made it real, at least in their article.Now another group of authors have shown the reality if these ideas are applied in the real world.
