Description: 
At least $30 billion is spent treating obesity-related conditions in the United States every year. While researchers suspect genetic and environmental factors may influence obesity, effective treatment options remain limited. Dr. Marc Reitman of the National Institutes of Health reviews current information on obesity and related complications. He also describes how a limited amount of fat can contribute to overall health.
