(PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- Demand for more information on products and
services addressing the country's growing obesity epidemic has prompted the

providers and healthcare executives wishing to attend the event may contact the
organizer to determine their eligibility for the discounted rate of $995.00.
Academic Researchers receive the discounted rate of $1295.00.
Also Being
Expanded is the Regulatory Session on: U.S. Guidelines, Red Flags and
Advertising Trends...
A 2004 FTC staff report showed that the number of
advertisements making obviously false weight-loss claims fell to just 15 percent
in 2004, but the problem still remains. This expanded session will help
companies understand the guidelines, red flags and advertising trends for
weight-loss products. Companies seeking ways to navigate the difficult
regulatory waters cannot afford to miss this presentation. The session will be
presented in a lively, roundtable format with a panel of industry, science,
regulatory and legal experts.
