About This Topic
Obesity is a complex disease involving excess body fat that in turn increases the risk of developing other diseases, such as cardiovascular and heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers. Notably, experts and researchers underscore the global impact of unbalanced nutrition and dysregulated metabolisms, identifying them as primary contributors to mortality on a worldwide scale. Despite decades of dedicated efforts in the realms of preventive nutrition and dietary guidelines, the prevalence of obesity-associated chronic diseases continues to increase worldwide. body weight is influenced by an intricate interplay of genetics, behavior, metabolism, daily calorie intake, physical activity, and hormones.
However, a recent wealth of evidence establishes a strong positive correlation between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and the manifestation of excess body weight. Within the scientific discourse on obesity, diet emerges as a pivotal factor in its pathogenesis. The focal objective of this special issue is to elucidate the physiological underpinnings of obesity, serving as a knowledge repository that fosters an understanding of its causes and effects. Empowered by a robust corpus of scientific data, it becomes evident that the significance of the food matrix rivals that of food composition in the risk profile for developing metabolic complications.
This special issue aims to cover a deep examination of eating patterns, encompassing facets such as food processing, food composition, and individual eating behaviors. A comprehensive understanding of these elements and their intricate relationship with obesity holds promise in mitigating the complexities inherent in this health challenge. Through this endeavor, we aim to contribute to the prevention of obesity by promoting informed and positive food choices.

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
