Nutrition expert Dr Tatiana Christides will be exploring the links between obesity and diabetes in a public lecture at the University of Greenwich at Medway on Wednesday, October 21. Dr Christides, a senior lecturer at the university’s School of Science, will be delivering a talk entitled: Land of Too Much Milk and Honey: Obesity and Diabetes in the UK.
The public lecture, one of a series organised by the School of Science, will address such issues as whether obesity is an illness, whether being overweight can give people diabetes, and whether following a Mediterranean diet would solve obesity problems in the UK.
