An excellent thread on new food policy affecting sales of UPF, our children’s health and #childhoodobesity. But will the government withstand pressure from the food industry to agree a watered down version?
At the moment, in the UK, Coco Pops are not technically unhealthy.
This is odd because they are *actually* unhealthy.
Here's a thread about some fascinating proposed food regulation which is very likely to be blocked by the food industry...🧵

Too often, people living with obesity feel unheard or misunderstood in healthcare settings. At OAC, we’re working to change that by supporting education that centers respect, understanding and evidence-based care.
Aligning Patient, Care Partner and Provider Priorities for the Management of Obesity is an interactive, game-based program designed for clinicians, people living with obesity and their care partners—helping everyone learn, communicate and move forward together.

Most Americans recognize obesity as a chronic disease, yet access to treatment remains limited due to high costs and insufficient insurance coverage. @AmerGastroAssn released a new poll that revealed more than 8 in 10 Americans believe obesity treatment should be covered by insurance.

It is important to know if someone has sleep apnea before they have an anaesthesic.
A new checklist called B-APNEIC was created to be more accurate.
