UK, the Year 2008 -Take Obese Children into Care, Says Health Expert

According to UK Health Experts from 2008, “authorities should take obese children from their families and into care, and that those whose health is at risk should then undergo stomach-stapling operations”. (Telegraph, 03 Oct 2008)

At that time (just 2 to 3 years ago), if not the majority of obesity experts were campaigning for the removal of obese children from their parents, or they were silent (passively supporting) about the issue concerning the removal of obese children from their parents.

It is unbelievable that just 3 years ago, no one established obesity scientist or established health expert in the UK or in the USA complained about the idea of forcing children to undergo a stomach-stapling operation. (If you know an established obesity scientist or health expert that was against the idea of forcing children to have stomach stapling operations, please let me know)

Those were the days when the obesity experts had great concern for children affected with obesity but didn’t know that stool contains calories. Ignoring the suffering of obese children, a man can find sympathy for obesity experts because although obesity experts didn’t know that stool contains calories, their intention was for the well-being of children at that time.

The fact that for children affected with severe obesity, nothing works was known to obesity scientists in 2008, but despite that, they were actively or passively campaigning for the removal of severely obese children from their parents.

The only reason that in the UK, obesity experts or any other kind of health experts will not suggest or support any possible campaign to remove obese children from their parents is that they are now aware that some amount of the energy in food intake, the human body will excrete as metabolic waste (metabolic waste is: stool, urine, sweat, breath, etc.). 

In the UK, not only is there no chance that a child affected with obesity or severe obesity will be removed from their parents, but there is no chance that any obesity expert will ever suggest that.

Obesity scientists, health experts and government officials should confront the fact that if parents knew what makes their children obese, there will be no obese children.

The established obesity scientists and health experts should admit the fact that they don’t know what causes obesity among children.

The government should take an active role in solving the problem of obesity and stop to be an executive body of established obesity scientists and established health experts. 

The obesity epidemic can be relatively easy to combat, but it is hard to explain. One reason that makes it hard to explain is that the entire established science of obesity was created without knowing that the human body excretes some energy in food intake. ( Until recently, the established scientific community didn’t know that some amount of energy in food intake human body excrete as metabolic waste  - they didn’t know that stool contains calories.)

Huffington Post: Obesity Surgery Doesn't Help Older Men Live Longer

My comment posted in Huffington Post (09:15 PM on 6/13/2011)

Weight loss surgery is a terrible medical practice based on a misunderst­anding of the biological basis of fat formation and the mechanisms underlinin­g fat mass distributi­on.

For bariatric surgeons, it is very comfortabl­e to talk about weight loss surgeries because weight loss surgeries are not for medical doctors.

To my knowledge, no medical doctors or their family members have had to undergo weight loss surgery. If you know any medical doctor or a member of the family that has had to undergo weight-los­s surgery, please let me know.

People involved in the prevention and treatment of obesity should ask the question; why have patients experience­d weight loss if any other program/me­thod for weight loss has not caused any meaningles­s weight loss.

In the end, WLS isn’t so effective weight loss treatment because, after WLS, patients lose mostly muscle mass and bone mass. Fat in excessive skin has to be surgically removed in at least one additional (cosmetic) surgery.

The mechanism underlinin­g weight loss induced by WLS is explained in the article: “Weight Loss Surgeries, Weight Loss, Diabetes and the Biomechanics of Sitting and Walking”. The same article explains the mechanism underlinin­g remission/­cure of Type 2 Diabetes.

Human society must confront the terrible blunder in medical science and practice.

The Myths about Established Science of Obesity

My reply to the comment posted by samknox @ 05:36 PM on 5/18/201 on HuffPost – “How to Burn Calories Without going to The Gym”

Quote:

“The benefits of exercise are numerous and well-docum­ented.”

In general, it is true, but there is still plenty to discuss certain types of exercises that negatively affect health and well-being, and certain exercises even cause further weight gain.

Quote:

 “Weight-los­s isn't one of them.”

It is only half true.

1.  For people affected with obesity and particularly for people affected with severe obesity, increased physical activity alone or combined with decreased food intake will not result in significant weight loss.

2. For people slightly affected by overweight increased physical activity will always result in weight loss, and it will also result in weight loss by decreased food intake.

3. For people with an ideal body mass index, physical activity is the only way to maintain their weight and shape.

Quote:

 “Creating a "calorie-d­eficit", either by eating less or exercising more, has, for all practical purposes, never resulted in long-term weight loss,”

The body doesn’t lose weight because of calorie deficit. The mechanism of weight loss induced by increased physical activity alone or combined with decreased food intake is not due to “calorie deficit”. The article “Misconception about Energy Balance and Weight Gain-Weight Loss” explains how wrong it is to observe weight loss through the model of “caloric deficit and weight gain through the model of “caloric sufficed” http://www.biomechanicsandhealth.com/energybalance.htm

Quote:

 “and this has been common knowledge among nutrition scientists for the last 60 years.”

That is not true.

Well, some nutritionists were scratching their heads, but the science that they didn’t dare to question was the inherited science. In reality, nutritional scientists, including medical scientists, are the victims of flawed science.

Today like in the past, all over the world, in schools and universities, students are learning anabolism theory and catabolism theory. In reality, the anabolism/catabolism theory is a flawed theory.

The scientific community and the wider public have to confront the fact that anabolism/catabolism theories are created when nutritional and medical scientists believe that every single calorie that enters the human body, if not spent, will be converted into fat mass. At that time, the fact that the human body excretes calories was unknown to nutritional and medical science.

The basic science of biology needs to be cleaned from these flawed theories, and the anabolism/catabolism theory is one of them.

As long as the scientific integrity of nutritional and medical scientists is more important than real science, people will suffer from obesity and be victimised by treatments based on pseudo science. The present official science of weight gain/weight loss is not real science but pseudoscience.

Quote:

“And yet we still have "experts" telling us that we will "see" the results of exercise.”

Until recently, the world leading nutritional scientists were telling exactly that.

For example, the world's most renowned scientists of obesity were telling that: “ Get millions of people to wear inexpensive step counters and walk an additional 2,000 steps (about 1 mile) a day, or cut out 100 calories.” 

The other example is the article broadcasted on the BBC: “Cut 100 calories a day to lose weight”

These are just two examples of the belief that obesity can be solved by following the “counting calories method”. 

The Myths about the Food and Obesity

"The article you link to is very poorly written."

I am sorry for that, but it is difficult to find words to explain that until recently, the scientists involved in the research, treatment and prevention of obesity did not know that the human body excretes calories. I think the arguments are more important on such an important issue.

An extensive reply to the rest of your comments I have posted on my blog. I hope you and other people will find it interesting.

 “Embarrassi­ngly so. Humans evolved to store energy when food was abundant so that they could survive when food was not.”

Humans don’t eat food as a means to gain weight; they also do not excrete calories to control body weight.

The human body doesn’t store water or air so that it can survive when water or air is not abundant.

The theory, “Humans evolved to store energy when food was abundant so that they could survive when food was not”, is flawed. Namely, it was created when scientists didn’t know that the human body excretes calories.

Quote:

“Food is very abundant now and people don't expend the kind of energy they did even 200 years ago.”

That is what the majority of people like to believe. The fact is that people eat better and exercise more, but they still get more obese than just a few decades ago. For example, Japan is not affected by the obesity epidemic; that is just one fact that shows that an abundance of food is not a reason for the obesity epidemic. Furthermore, in the USA nowadays, more people are hungry than a few decades ago, but obesity is still far more prevalent today than what was the case just two decades ago. 

Quote:

“Sure some calories may be excreated as waste,“

For many, it is hard to confront the fact that the human body excretes calories because the entire science of obesity and the opinion on the causes and solutions for obesity were created without knowing that the human body excretes calories.

Quote:

“but if you eat 3000Kc and only burn 2000Kc the rest is not going to magically leave your body.”

It is not simple like that. The excretion and excreting mechanism are very complex. At this moment of discussion, what is relevant is the fact that obesity scientists didn’t know that the human body excretes calories.
