The Battle Against Obesity: Experts And Pharmacists Call For An Increased Role For Pharmacy Across The UK

There is one thing unequivocally correct about this article.

Note "experts and pharmacists." This implies that the two are different.

Pharmacists are not experts in overweight/obesity.

Unfortunately, neither are the experts.

"New data revealed show that the pharmacy profession is increasingly recognising the potential to be involved in weight management, in a bid to stop the rising number of obese and overweight people. Results show 98 per cent of pharmacists in the UK believe that, with support and training, they are well placed to help people with their weight loss efforts."

Translation: they see an opportunity to make a buck (pound).

And who else stands to benefit?

The originators of the article:

"GlaxoSmithKline "

Surprise!
