Dear Colleagues,
America is facing a health care crisis. According to the National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), one in two
U.S. adults are obese or overweight. This trend is not limited
to adults. The CDC indicates that among children and teens aged
6-19 years, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered
overweight. Today's newsletter provides resources related to the
treatment and prevention of obesity.
