Today I’m back to discuss a new study “Associations of ob*sity, systemic inflammation, and hyperinsulinemia with the incidence of non-communicable chronic disease and mortality: A prospective cohort study” by Natasha Wiebe MMath, Stephanie Thompson MD, Peter Stenvinkel MD, Aminu Bello MD, Matthew T. James MD, and Marcello Tonelli MD. In part 1 we’ll discuss the study. In part 2 I’ll publish a piece written by Natasha about her experience attending a weight loss industry event to present her findings.
