TV Advertising on Kids
From the study’s conclusions: Each hour increase in television viewing was associated with an additional 167 kcal/d (95% confidence interval, 136-198 kcal/d; P < .001) and with increases in the consumption of foods commonly advertised on television.
Obvious as the finding appears, it happens to be the only EBM we have for reducing risk of childhood obesity. Scary, huh? I hope we can do better than this!

I hear you are interested in peds. Great. I’m trying to put together a pediatric blog carnival with the first edition to come out soon. Feel free to submit peds related posts to me at clarkbar2019@yahoo.com.
