Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 5 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Health Bill [HL].
Health Bill [HL]
Yes—heart trouble and cancer. Red wine was going to cure everything. That is why drinking went up. People thought, "I will live longer". The second article is on the same page of the Daily Telegraph of 25 February and states: ""Obesity is as deadly as smoking, say doctors"." I repeat: ""Obesity is as deadly as smoking, say doctors"." It is not me but doctors who are saying it. The article continues: ""Being obese as a teenager carries the same risk of premature death as smoking 10 cigarettes a day"."
