In 2020, Mexico 🇲🇽 enacted a law requiring warning labels 🛑 on the front of food packages that contain “excess” sugar 🍭 , calories 🍩, sodium 🧂, or saturated fat 🧈 by Official Mexican Standards.
Over 35 percent of children 👶🏽👧🏽 and adolescents in Mexico are overweight, one of the highest rates in the Americas. 😳
The consumption of these products is reported as reduced, but there has not been a significant decrease in sales. 😑
Despite inconclusive results, several companies (especially soft drinks 🥤 and dairy 🥛 companies) have modified the formulas of some products to reduce the risk amounts. 🎉

This is Dr. Guerrier, one of the Bariatric Surgeons I work with. Our hospital is dedicated to healthcare equity and minority providers 👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️👩🏾‍⚕️👨🏿‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️ have been shown to improve patient outcomes.
Only about 1/4 of Bariatric surgeries are performed on Black or Hispanic patients even though obesity rates are highest in this population. 😯😯 (About 45% of each group suffer from obesity, and ~70% are considered overweight and obese).
The literature has shown that minority patients are more likely to engage with minority providers, and more likely to consent to preventive services. 🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿 Unfortunately only 14% of physicians are Black or Hispanic, and that number drops to 8% in surgery. Proud to have a diverse team to care for our patients. 👨🏻‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️👨🏿‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️👩🏾‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️
Our hospital 🏥 Hackensack University Medical Center, was also the first 1️⃣ hospital in the nation to receive a Health Care Equity certification 🏅 for its commitment to improving health equity 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿 from the Joint Commission (a nonprofit organization that sets standards and certifies health care programs). Kudos to the entire HUMC family! 🌟
