Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman M.D. - June 4, 2009

We often hear about the physical causes and effects of obesity, but we rarely hear about the emotional and psychological factors. Today, obesity is no longer diagnosed only during middle age - it's becoming the norm to hear that young people in their 20's are dealing with the disease. Obviously, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the onset of obesity, but what's going on behind the scenes?

We know that overeating is the main cause of obesity, but few know what leads to this increase in food intake. The answer is simple: stress. Many young people today live a hectic lifestyle full of stress and anxiety. To cope with the constant physical and emotional drain, many people turn to one of life's simplest pleasures: food.

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman, M.D. - May 28, 2009

Is there an obesity gene? Research demonstrates that there is. In fact there may be several genes that contribute to obesity.

The INSIG2 gene controls insulin. It inhibits the synthesis (manufacturing in the body) of fatty acid and cholesterol. People with a sequence variation near the gene seem less able to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. The end result is a tendency to accumulate more body fat. Another culprit gene is a variant version of the FTO gene. People who have this gene tend to eat more to satisfy their appetites. And the children with this gene have a tendency to gain excess fat.

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman, M.D. May 5, 2009

In a fascinating study in the journal Nature Structural and Molecular Biology,  scientists explored the creation of fat through a structure called fatty acid synthasase. While this is pure research with no immediate clinical application it does open a window into how fats are formed from carbohydrates. A deeper understanding of how this happens can ultimately lead to the development of inhibitors that would help block the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. This research always begs a somewhat difficult question. To what extent are people who overweight at fault. Or rather the question is how should a person feel about being overweight. This is an a critical question because how a person feels about their weight can go a long way to how they try to deal with it, either through diet, exercise, or surgery.

The study, published by the American Physiological Society in the Journal of Applied Physiology, describes a three times greater risk of experiencing a stroke or dying, compared to people with similar health but without sleep apnea. What the study did not say though is that the vast majority of people with sleep apnea are overweight. So here we learn about another way how being overweight creates a condition that is a risk factor for debilitating stroke or death.

The latest study reported at the American Heart Association's Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention annual conference confirms what we are seeing all around us - our children are getting fatter.  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tells us that 24 percent of American children aged two to five are overweight and an additional 12 percent are obese.  33 percent of children 6 to 11 are overweight, and another 17 percent are obese.
