Turning the tide on obesity?

Abstract

Genetics, ultraprocessed foods, portion distortion, sweetened beverages, screen time, food addiction, intestinal microbiota, diet culture, weight stigma, food insecurity-all have been implicated in the "obesity epidemic." More than a billion people worldwide have obesity, and many more are overweight. With the emergence of new, highly effective weight-loss drugs, might the "fat decades" become a closed chapter in the history of public health?
