《柳叶刀》和英国皇家学会之间的交流 1, 2 非常重要，因为它让人们关注卫生政策在防止肥胖、心脏病、糖尿病和西方癌症升级方面的失败。主要原因是人们对科学优先事项的认知存在偏差，从而忽视了与健康相关的营养科学。这种偏差使英国政府无法获得全面的建议，其后果在全球范围内不断升级。我将提到三个值得注意的例子。首先，20世纪70年代，向医学研究委员会提交的《纽伯格营养研究报告》建议对低出生体重的原因和预防及其相关后果进行研究。下议院儿童问题特别委员会 1989 年和产妇服务特别委员会也于 1991 年提出了同样的建议。 2004年6月，曼彻斯特的莫里斯勋爵在议会提出质询，询问政府在减少低出生体重方面的进展情况，鉴于神经发育障碍和慢性健康不良的高风险，生物医学科学和卫生服务部门未能做出回应，这一点得到了阐明。他收到的书面答复是，1953年的发病率为6·6%，1973年为6·6%，2002年为7·6%。联合国儿童基金会2005年报告3称英国为8%，比古巴差，与罗马尼亚和哈萨克斯坦相当。
The exchange between The Lancet and the Royal Society 1, 2 is important because it brings to focus the failure of health policy to prevent the escalation of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and western cancers. A primary reason has been the skew in perceived scientific priorities which sidelined nutritional science in relation to health. This skew deprived the UK government of comprehensive advice, with consequences that have escalated globally. I will mention three notable examples.First, in the 1970s, the Neuberger Report on Nutrition Research to the Medical Research Council recommended that research should be done on the cause and prevention of low birthweight and its associated consequences. The House of Commons Select Committee on Children 1989, and in 1991, on Maternity Services, made the same recommendation. The failure of biomedical science and health services to respond was articulated when, in view of the attached high risk of neurodevelopmental impairment and chronic ill health, a parliamentary question by Lord Morris of Manchester in June, 2004, asked the government about its progress in reducing low birthweight. He received the written reply that the incidence was 6· 6% 1953, 6· 6% in 1973, and 7· 6% in 2002. The UNICEF 2005 Report 3 puts the UK at 8%, worse than Cuba and on a par with Romania and Kazakhstan.
