- Rosa M. Ortega, Ana M. López-Sobaler, Juan M. Ballesteros, Napoleón Pérez-Farinós, Elena Rodríguez-Rodríguez, Aránzazu Aparicio, José M. Perea and Pedro Andrés.British Journal of Nutrition 2011.
Study carried out on adults between the ages of 18 and 60 in order to determine the daily salt intake of the Spanish population. Salt intake was estimated by measuring the amount of sodium excreted over 24 hours. The results showed that the average amount of salt consumed in the diet was 9.8 grams per day. This means that 88.2% of the subjects studied ingested more salt than the recommended daily amount (5 grams/day).ía).

- Qi Sun, Mary K. Townsend, Olivia I. Okereke, Oscar H. Franco, Frank B. Hu, Francine Grodstein,.Escuela de Salud pública de Harvard, Boston, Estados Unidos. British Medical Journal 2009 ;339:b3796.
This study was carried out as part of a large cohort study on nurse health in the United States. It assesses whether mid-life overweight is associated with good health among those who survive to older ages. The main conclusion drawn from the results seems to be that being overweight in middle-age is associated with reduced probability of healthy survival in old age and that therefore it is important to maintain a healthy weight from a young age.

This article evaluates the intervention, which aimed to promote water consumption in school, and its effect on overweight. It seems that said intervention was effective in preventing overweight, but not in reducing the consumption of sugary drinks.

Inappropriate therapies to combat excess weight, sometimes with the promise of “miraculous” results, are relatively common in Spain. The public condemnation by Drs Monereo and Vázquez of a specific method used in very popular slimming clinics in Madrid resulted in the director of said centres suing them for libel. This article summarises the facts, analyses the specific methods used in said clinics and their possible damaging effects and summarises the content of the verdict of one of the trials that has now concluded.
