How partisanship, polarization, and medical authority stand in the way of evidence-based medicine
The U.S. medical system is touted as the most advanced in the world, yet many common treatments are not based on sound science. Unhealthy Politics sheds new light on why the government's response to this troubling situation has been so inadequate, and why efforts to improve the evidence base of U.S. medicine continue to cause so much political controversy. This critically important book paints a portrait of a medical industry with vast influence over which procedures and treatments get adopted, and a public burdened by the rising costs of health care yet fearful of going against "doctor's orders." Now with a new preface by the authors, Unhealthy Politics offers vital insights into the limits of science, expertise, and professionalism in American politics.

The need to reduce disability and premature deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasingly engaging international organisations and national and sub-national governments. In this book, experts from a range of backgrounds provide insights into the legal implications of regulating tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy foods, all of which are risk factors for NCDs. As individual countries and the international community move to increase targeting of these risk factors, affected industries are turning to national and international law to challenge the resulting regulations.
This book explores how the effective regulation of tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy foods can be achieved within the context of international health law, international trade and investment law, international human rights law, international intellectual property law, and domestic laws on constitutional and other matters. Its contributors consider the various tensions that arise in regulating NCD risk factors, as well as offering an original analysis of the relationship between evidence and health regulation.
Covering a range of geographical areas, including the Americas, the European Union, Africa and Oceania, the book offers lessons for health and policy practitioners and scholars in navigating the complex legal fields in which the regulation of tobacco, alcohol and unhealthy foods takes place.

Описание: Americans everywhere have a lot of pent up energy. Trying to do the right thing by dieting and exercising to be fit and healthy. In response to this huge demand, the health, wellness, and fitness industry has grown exponentially into an immense, multi-billion dollar industry. Online advertising, televised infomercials bombard us with machines to build better abs, flatter tummies-influencers and health gurus pop-up on our phones, offering fitness and diet solutions. The onslaught urges consumers to pull out their credit cards, then purchase gym subscriptions, dietary supplements, exercise bikes at three thousand dollars a pop, toning creams, diet cookbooks, workout programs, and holistic diet plans, and more claiming to give you the body of a Hollywood star or starlet. It seems there is nowhere to hide. Youd think Americans should be the fittest population on the planet for all the glitz, glam, and sweaty bodies losing weight pounds. But what is the truth? The facts could not be farther from all the hype. Obesity is an epidemic. Despite the industrys constant claims of helping people become fit, healthy, and well, Americans health is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Misinformation is spread far and wide - giant corporations prop up their favorite fitness influencers and gurus on their behalf to garner sales from the hordes of unsuspecting individuals-all in a vicious cycle of profits over peoples health. Now, for the first time, a group of international, diverse, and dedicated industry veterans that include, best- selling authors, multi-award winning fitness health and wellness experts, an Olympic athlete, a renowned Medical Doctor, have teamed up with, Dr. Nia Williams an award winning consumer psychologist will debunk the lies, with unsparing frankness. The authors will fearlessly expose their Health and Fitness Industrys worst aspects but also offer significant new thinking about how to restore trust and integrity, and present well-thought-out ideas to help fitness consumers make better choices. Unfit, Unhealthy, and Unwell offers candid opinions in easy- to -read essay format. Curated by Frankie D. Cruz along with a team of authors who are dedicated to combining their expertise to save their industry from itself, and help Americans from all walks of life become healthier, and genuinely fit for far less money.

Описание: Inequality is one of the most discussed topics of our times. Yet, we still do not know how to tackle the issue effectively. The book argues that this is due to the lack of understanding the structures responsible for the persistence of social inequality. It enquires into the mechanisms that produce and reproduce invisible dividing lines in society. Based on original case studies of Brazil, Germany, India and Laos comprising thousands of interviews, the authors argue that invisible classes emerge in capitalist societies, both reproducing and transforming precapitalist hierarchies. At the same time, locally particular forms of inequality persist. Social inequality in the contemporary world has to be understood as a specific combination of precapitalist inequalities, capitalist transformation and a particular class structure, which seems to emerge in all capitalist societies. The book links the configurations to an interpretation of global domination as well as to symbolic classification.

Each year, billions of dollars are spent on global humanitarian health initiatives. These efforts are intended to care for suffering bodies, especially those of distressed children living in poverty. But as global medical aid can often overlook the local economic and political systems that cause bodily suffering, it can also unintentionally prolong the very conditions that hurt children and undermine local aid givers. Investigating medical humanitarian encounters in Egypt, Paradoxes of Care illustrates how child aid recipients and local aid experts grapple with global aid's shortcomings and its paradoxical outcomes.
Rania Kassab Sweis examines how some of the world's largest aid organizations care for vulnerable children in Egypt, focusing on medical efforts with street children and out-of-school village girls. Her in-depth ethnographic study reveals how global medical aid fails to "save" these children according to its stated aims, and often maintains--or produces new--social disparities in children's lives. Foregrounding vulnerable children's responses to medical aid, Sweis moves past the unquestioned benevolence of global health to demonstrate how children must manage their own bodies and lives in the absence of adult care. With this book, she challenges readers to engage with the question of what medical caregivers and donors alike gain from such global humanitarian transactions.
Set in Tanga, a city on the Tanzanian Swahili coast, Dominik Mattes examines the implementation of antiretroviral HIV-treatment (ART) in the area, exploring the manifold infrastructural and social fragilities of treatment provision in public HIV clinics as well as patients' multi-layered struggles of coming to terms with ART in their everyday lives. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, the book shows that, notwithstanding the massive rollout of ART, providing treatment and living a life with HIV in settings like Tanga continue to entail social, economic, and moral challenges and long-term uncertainties, which contradict the global rhetoric of the "normalization of HIV."
