 It's often been said that ‘Obesity is a choice, not disease,’ ‘Low fat diets are the best way to reduce body fat’ or that ‘Weight loss of at least 10% is needed for any benefit.’ The truth is these are false.

Won’t you join Dr. Lofton? It’s time to set the record straight and replace myths and misconceptions with truth – and turn challenges into opportunities.Annenberg Center for Health Sciences Disturbo fisico e malattia Igiene e vita sana
