@ Evening primrose oil (EPO) is very successful in relieving<br />

many of the symptoms of PMS. It contains gamma linolenic<br />

acid (GLA), which is converted in the body into<br />

With all the pressure society places on not being overweight,<br />

you would have to be a masochist to want to be fat. It is,<br />

therefore, unfair to blame people for eating too much, when<br />

it is obvious that eating too much is the cause of their overweightness.<br />

Hormonal problems do have a role in obesity, but<br />

only a very few people have entirely hormonal weight problems.<br />

Overeating is an addiction to food which should be<br />

given the same consideration as any other addiction. When<br />

we were babies and terribly vulnerable, a source of comfort<br />

were afraid or tired or angry and cried, we were given the<br />

breast or bottle. When we are upset or stressed, many of us<br />

still need to feel comforted, just as we did when a baby. Some<br />

people choose alcohol, some people choose cigarettes, others<br />

seek solace in chocolate.<br />

nurture, a higher proportion of overweight: people have overweight<br />

families. Another reason for overweight is one diet too
