----- 胖人政策：美国肥胖流行病背后的故事

ISBN: 9780195313208 出版年：2005 页码：241 Oliver, J Eric Oxford University Press

In reviewing the scientific evidence, Oliver shows there is little proof that obesity causes so much disease and death or that losing weight is what makes people healthier. Our concern with obesity, he writes, is fueled more by social prejudice, bureaucratic politics, and industry profit than by scientific fact. Misinformation pushes millions of Americans towards dangerous surgeries, crash diets, and harmful diet drugs, while we ignore other, more real health problems.
