[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2533423, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]I didn't listen to the podcast, but I read the summary- notes. Very interesting! I am always interested to see how bariatric surgeons work, how they think through this issue. In Aotearoa/New Zealand there is also a low-carb advocate bariatric surgeon who has been a TV Doc-star with basically his own show - 'The Big Ward'. Dr Gabor, from memory. A very similar dude. I don't know how they reconcile these two things in their medical world view. Especially if they start proposing surgery to young people, as Dr Gabor does. Also, Because I am really interested in word and phrase choice, I get annoyed with the phrase 'food addiction' - as make no mistake - all mammals are addicted to food! We can't live without it. How strange to make it sound like folks (like me and many many many many others) who came to associate eating with emotional comfort are addicts. Now - sugar! And wheat - I agree there. But not with food generally. I know I am being picky about phrase/word choice, but I think it is very important. I don't buy it that every snack is an emotional event. I like the ritual of afternoon tea, and I know I am not alone in this (I take it - a big deal from my European forebears, especially the English ones?). But 'emotional'? Hmmmm. Anyway, thanks for the link [USER=521715]@MrsA2[/USER] - I will certainly give it a closer look by listening to the podcast. Hope you don't mind my immediate response to the text...[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
