The fact that the National Institute of Clinical Excellence has its own official biscuits does not bode well for the quality of its recommendations on obesity...
The purpose of this page is to allow you to quickly brush up on the relevant NICE guidance in common areas, split up by common topics body system/pathologies. Try to memorise them all in one sitting (really - don't do this)...
Cancer is a huge topic, affecting every organ system, so I've dropped the guidance into each sub section...

Endocrine
Diabetes
