Parent Diet Choice Knowledge Doesn't Prevent Child Obesity

Duh.

A study of the families of 150 preschoolers suggests that parents of healthy-weight and overweight preschoolers are generally well aware of dietary risk factors that fuel childhood obesity.

The research, conducted by the Johns Hopkins Children's Center and All Children's Hospital in Florida, suggests that awareness alone is not enough to effect meaningful weight change, and that pediatricians should help parents with specific and tailored guidance on how to apply their knowledge in daily practice, the researchers said.

All the knowledge in the world will make no difference unless it is applied properly.

Speaking of which, the last thing you want is for pediatricians, or any of the believers in the faith of medicine, to give you weight loss advice.

Diets fail because of expert diet advice.
