Group effort necessary to combat falsehoods in the weight-loss …

It’s easy to laugh at these fat-reducing methods from yesteryear. But what isn’t funny is that people — many many people — continue to be duped by the massive diet industry into believing that this device or that pill will painlessly solve their obesity problems once and for all. Indeed the weight-loss industry in North America is a $50-billion-a-year business and despite a century of medical advances many of the products its promotes are no more effective than the Punkt-roller. An editorial in the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal rightly takes aim at this sorry situation. Written by physicians Yoni Freedhoff and Arya Sharma — who it should be noted run weight-management programs — the editorial mentions that many people in the diet-industry manipulate consumers and thereby “cultivate unreasonable expectations and false beliefs. “If that were all the ne’er-do-wells in the industry did it would be bad enough. Unfortunately it’s much worse: In addition to relieving people of their money weight-loss swindlers also make it less likely that people will avail themselves of evidence-based weight management programs that actually work.

The spoof scams follow similar successful campaigns by authorities in the US and Canada which use internet banner advertising and sponsored links on search engine sites to drive consumers to the fake websites preventing the scammers from doing business. FT research suggests most victims of health scams are women and aged between 35 and 64 yet fewer than 1% report the fraud to authorities. Mike Haley the FT’s director of consumer protection said scammers target “vulnerable people who are desperate to lose weight or find a cure. These products are often worthless and can even be dangerous with untested and potentially harmful ingredients. Always seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist before you part with your money. “Zoe Harrison care advisor with Diabetes UK which is backing the ant-scammer campaign said: “In the vast majority of cases there is no evidence to suggest the ‘medication’ is safe for people with diabetes to take let alone help manage their condition. “Alice Tuff development officer at Sense About Science a charity fighting misrepresentation of scientific evidence said: ” The internet is cluttered with adverts and chat-room conversations testifying to ‘incredible’ benefits from untested sometimes bogus cures and treatments.
