SUMMARY:Queens Lecture 2018
DESCRIPTION:Professor Susan Jebb "Diet\, obesity and health: from science t
 o policy"\n\nPoor diet is one of the leading global causes of avoidable il
 l-health. Obesity\, driven by overconsumption\, is a key issue\, and in mo
 st high and middle income countries we also eat too much saturated fat\, s
 ugar and salt and too little fibre\, which increase health risks independe
 nt of weight.\n\nDespite the widespread acceptance of the mantra “preven
 tion is better than cure”\, prevention remains the cinderella of medicin
 e with chronic under-investment in preventative health research. Nutrition
  research is a crucial component. If we are to make the case to reprioriti
 se healthcare spending and encourage people to change personal eating habi
 ts\, we need to have confidence that dietary interventions to prevent dise
 ase will be effective.\n\nBut nutrition has become one of the most content
 ious issues in science and consumers increasingly turn to their peers and 
 not scientists.\n\nThe challenge for science is to generate robust evidenc
 e of the relationship between diet and health and effective actions to cha
 nge behaviour.\n\nWe must also communicate the evidence to policymakers\, 
 industry and the public. They need instruments to create a virtuous circle
  where consumers demand healthier food and industry competes to respond\, 
 offering and promoting food and drinks in a way which further drives healt
 hier choices.  The challenge for government is to put in place the conditi
 ons which make this more likely for science\, for industry and citizens.\n
 \nThis presentation will consider the strength of evidence relating diet t
 o health outcomes particularly for saturated fat and sugar\, drawing on da
 ta from prospective cohorts and dietary intervention studies.\n\nSusan Jeb
 b is Professor of Diet and Population Health at the Nuffield Department of
  Primary Care Health Sciences\, University of Oxford.\n\nThe Queen's Lectu
 res are supported by the British Embassy and the British Council Germany.\
 n\nThe lecture will be held in English.
