Two articles recently published in NHSManagers.net, presented a highly stigmatising and scientifically incorrect narrative of obesity. Such views only serve to increase stigma, which can lead to psychological and emotional distress, avoidance of care, reduced adherence to treatment and lower trust of healthcare professionals. As a consequence, we seek to debunking some of these articles’ claims – in line with the joint international consensus statement for ending stigma of obesity.
