Default National Geographic channel "The Science of Obesity

x-no-archive: yes

My endo in LA and someone with Cushing's I know will be on this T.V.
show to air this week:


Dr. Ted Friedman, from Charles Drew University in Los Angeles, CA
will be featured on the National Geographic channel:
Tuesday, September 18, 2007, at 9PM eastern;
Wednesday, September 19, 12AM eastern and
Sunday, September 23, 4PM eastern.

The show, called the Science of Obesity, will focus on Cushing's syndrome.

Today, 127 million adult Americans are considered overweight, but few
reach the extreme proportions of the exceptionally obese. What are the
physical stresses of weighing more than 500 pounds and what steps can
reverse it? NGC provides an understanding of what happens inside the
bodies of these massive people & why a person can pack on hundreds more
pounds than those with typical weight challenges. The show explores the
genetics behind weight gain & medical advances available to help prevent it.

Thank you for your posts.
I have learned a lot from your posts.

I posted the link from your "Unhealthy science" post to another group and it
was a great help.

Obesity is simply a condition acquired by overeating.

The only science of obesity is the first law of thermodynamics.

Truth is simple.

This fulfills prophesy that is written about the world's wise being
made fools by GOD.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

Keep your fingers crossed that it's well edited and informative. The
person I know who's on it hasn't seen the final cut.
