This actually isn't new news per say but it is getting regurgitated. I posted a similar news article about this a few months ago.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) � For the first time in 25 years, America�s childhood obesity epidemic has leveled off.
A recent study shows there was no significant increase in the number of obese children and teens in the United States between 1999 and 2006. Researchers gathered the height and weight measurements of 8,165 children and adolescents to update the most recent national estimates. The pediatric high body mass index (BMI), is currently the best available clinical tool for screening childhood obesity.
