All this obesity advice is a recipe for confusion. Just eat smaller portions | Archie Bland
All this obesity advice is a recipe for confusion. Just eat smaller portions | Archie Bland
A new report says eating low-fat foods is unhealthy, contradicting long-standing diet information. While experts argue, we need a more simple message
If you’re not confused, you’ve not been paying attention.
The National Obesity Forum (NOF), one authoritative-sounding body, has issued a report which argues that telling people to eat low-fat foods to combat obesity is a mistake which has had “disastrous health consequences”. Public Health England, another authoritative-sounding body, has responded furiously, calling the report “a risk to the nation’s health”, “irresponsible”, and potentially deadly. During a tense discussion on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning, the NOF’s Dr Aseem Malhotra alleged that the government’s obesity adviser, Prof Susan Jebb, had previously done work funded by Coca-Cola; separately, Prof Simon Capewell of the Faculty of Public Health, another authoritative-sounding body, warned that it was not clear who funded the NOF report.

NHS regulator to scale back hospital inspections after budget cuts
NHS regulator to scale back hospital inspections after budget cuts
CQC will rely more on information provided by patients and trusts, concentrating on visits to hospitals classed as requiring improvement or inadequate
The tough inspection regime for hospitals introduced to prevent a repeat of the Mid Staffordshire care scandal is being relaxed as the NHS regulator adjusts to budget cuts brought in by the health secretary, Jeremy Hunt.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) will undertake fewer and smaller inspections of hospitals in England and rely more on information provided by patients and NHS trusts themselves under the watchdog’s new five-year strategy. Guardian

A low priority? How local health and care plans overlook the needs of dying people
A low priority? How local health and care plans overlook the needs of dying people
This report examines local health planning and needs assessments in relation to dying people and finds that 34 per cent of health and wellbeing boards do not take into account end of life care needs. In addition to this, 27 per cent of CCGs do not have a strategy for addressing end of life care for adults in their area, with the figure rising to 71 per cent for children and young people. The report calls for greater collaboration in order to better cater for local palliative and terminal care needs. Hospice UK
