Welcome Notes

 Dear Colleagues,

Overweight has not only a negative impact on the esthetical and psychological aspect of the personal life, it is also harmful for health. Indeed, overweight leads to several diseases like diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, hypertension and some kind of cancers.

The aim of Slimming Ingredients Germany 2008 is to discuss about the latest advances in the weight loss and weight management field by the use of ingredients, foods, cosmetics and dietary supplements.

From the current used ingredients and their improvement, to emergent molecules and new mechanisms involved in weight loss and weight management, this international event aims to bring together the world specialists in the field (scientists, industrials, regulatory bodies…), in order to debate and exchange ideas, leading to the design of the Slimming Ingredients of tomorrow.

We wish to welcome you in Berlin next June.

Dr Marvin Edeas,

Chairman of the organising committee
