Is the low fat food market one of the drivers of the obesity epidemic?

Do you have to follow a low fat diet in order to lose weight? The answer might surprise you as you discover the true value of those supposedly low fat foods. Some food items marked as "healthy" such as low fat yoghurts often have more energy than unsweetened full fat versions. This begs the question, is the low fat food market one of the drivers of the obesity epidemic?

The key to a healthy lifestyle and the solution to the obesity epidemic could well lie with your great grandparents. Come along to find out why.

Spend an hour with Professor Kerin O'Dea, Director of the Sansom Institute for Health Research, as she questions the biggest issues involving food and healthy lifestyle.
