Dr. Gilbert A. Leveile, of the Department of Food Sci- ence and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University, said not'ail fat people should feel guilty of gluttony. Their meta- bolism, not their appçtites, may be responsîble. Speaking at the Kellogg Nu- trition Symposium, ,,Dr.'Le- -veille said understanding of the causes of. obesity is limited. Because of this, he- said methods for treating the obese are not -very effective. Authorities in the field -«-- nutrition gathered at the symn- posium to listen te Dr. Leveille and other exp0erts. Nutrition- ïsts, doctors and health educa- tors were invited by the spon- sor, 'Kellogg Salada Canada Ltd. *Dr. Levelile called obesity a "disease", resulting from ia var- iety of causes and in, many. cases involving "widespread underlying metabolie abnorm- alities". He said some cases of over- weight seem to involve steps which regulate energy use in the body, speciîcally so-caled "futile' steps which use up en- ergy but serve no apparent use- fui purpose. Normally, these steps act asi 'release valves' which compen- sate for variations in the level of energy intake, but their r- duced'efficiency could Iead to either obesity or chronk un- derweight. "While thîs hypothesis is not new, thiere is an increasing 'a- mount of, evidence supporting it both f rom animal, and hu- man stu ses," Dr. Leveille said,- adding' "the <r eal, challenge is to find practical and effective meansof preventing and cor- recting overweight problems." Without an understanding of the mechanisms, of the body which control weight, the 'de. cision to lose1 weight through dieting could be the, beginning of an "obesity cycle", Dr. Le- veille said., FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Carroll Nelson 'i Starword Communiçations Lta. 16ý5 University Avenue Toronto, Ontario MSH 398 Tel.: (416) 863-1754 THE COMMUNIT CABES Ethel Malanka, of 108 Bel Drive, gut her firat opportun- ity to attend Meals Without Wheels at the Knights of Columbus Hall last week, thanks. to Whitby's new Com- munity Cr program for senior citizens.
