 | | - Half of Americans will be obese by 2030, report says
A report from the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation projects that obesity rates will be at least 44% in each state, and more than 60% in 13 states, by 2030. Researchers also estimated there will be up to 7.9 million new cases of diabetes and 6.8 million new cases of chronic heart disease and stroke every year. Reuters (9/18)       - Obesity study shows fruits and veggies matter: The annual ranking of states by obesity rates shows that obesity rates are lower in states where people eat more fruits and vegetables, including California, Vermont, New Hampshire and Oregon, and in the District of Columbia. But even in those areas, just 1 in 4 adults consumes five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. National Public Radio/The Salt blog (9/18)

  | | | Dietary Health |  | | |  | - More data is needed on red raspberry ketone supplement, RDs say
Registered dietitians say more study data is needed on the effects and health risks of red raspberry ketone, a weight-loss supplement that is touted as increasing blood levels of the hormone adiponectin. Higher adiponectin levels may be linked to obesity prevention through carbohydrate and fat oxidation, but RD Amy Goodson says the same effect can be achieved with a healthy diet, exercise and weight loss rather than a supplement. Today's Dietitian (9/2012) - Going Halfsies may fight both obesity and hunger
If posting calorie counts at restaurants does not get people to eat less food, another option is Halfsies, a company that partners with restaurants to serve half portions to diners. The charge is a same as for a full meal, but restaurants give the savings from serving less food to Halfsies, which donates it to local charities and global food-relief organizations.

Researchers at Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab found that students were more likely to eat fruits and vegetables with catchy names, such as X-Ray Vision Carrots, Power Punch Broccoli, Tiny Tasty Tree Tops and Silly Dilly Green Beans. Researchers found that students were more likely to eat such offerings over a "Food of the Day" option. The Huffington Post (9/17) - Exercise can lower diabetes risk in overweight, obese children
