The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) today refuted claims made on Channel Seven’s Today Tonight program last Friday that the NHMRC recommends various weight loss products.
The NHMRC wants to make it clear it never recommends any commercial product as a matter of policy.
For people seeking to lose weight through the use of these products, the NHMRC recommends they should first consult their GP.
For further information on healthy eating and weight loss, please consult the NHMRC Dietary Guidelines for all Australians and the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults located on the NHMRC website.
