"Forget a ban on junk food advertising.

To help combat rising obesity rates among children and adolescents, a group of Canadian researchers is proposing a ban on any food and beverage advertising aimed at those under 18.

The University of Alberta Researchers recently published the recommendations in the Journal of Public Health Policy.
