Overweight and Obesity in Kids Underdiagnosed

Kudos, fatsos. The nutritional child abuse you heap on your kids is worse than previously thought.
"Only about a third of children who are overweight or obese are diagnosed as such by pediatricians, researchers here said.

Diagnosis was more likely, however, among obese and severely obese children, David C. Kaelber, M.D., Ph.D., of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and colleagues reported in the January issue of Pediatrics."
This also serves to highlight the complicity of docs in the nutritional child abuse.

Stop nutritional child abuse.

Get involved.
