The meeting, held this February under the Continuing Education Plan for journalists on obesity in collaboration with the National Association of Health Report (ANIS) and funded by the company Abbott, Dr. Riobó discussed “the importance of the media are the main source of consumer information “in relation to food safety.

According to the expert, consumers are “constantly bombarded” with nutrition information from various sources and many of them, given the volume of data, are “difficult” to distinguish valid recommendations of misleading advice.

“The nutrition information is sometimes contradictory, even from sources equally valid, which causes consumers are confused about whom to believe and what to believe about nutrition,” said the doctor, for whom reality is that the public “pay attention to health news in the media” because the press is “well positioned to educate the public.”

Another participant of this meeting was Dr. Xavier Formiguera, head of the unit Eating Disorders Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, president of the Seed, who noted that at present there is “more than 1,000 million adults in the world who are overweight and at least 300 million are clinically obese. ”

“Of these, about 500,000 people in Europe and North America die each year from diseases related to obesity, according to data provided by The World Health Report 2002,” he said.

For the doctor, these figures show that obesity is a risk to our health because it increases the risk of premature death, decreased quality of life and is a major risk factor for many diseases; including diabetes mellitus type 2 diseases cardiovascular and cancer, among others.

In his view, a sedentary lifestyle is “key” in the development of this disease. “The physically active is a fossil of computerization, and the daily energy expenditure in the modern lifestyle has been reduced from 250 to 500 kilocalories per day compared to the traditional lifestyle,” concluded
