EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute

We do so with the conviction that free enterprise, economic growth, new technologies and free choice are not threats to our environment and health, but rather a prerequisite for them.

EPHI - Environment and Public Health Institute
We’re talking about eating disorders, anorexia, and the journey through the healthcare system with Signe Bennich. In the book *Att försvinna sig*—a mother and daughter’s story about anorexia, which she co-wrote with her mother, psychologist Anna Bennich—they describe the illness from two perspectives: that of the person who is sick and that of the person standing by their side.---“Health for the Unhealthy” highlights perspectives on public health that rarely come up in the debate but that many people ponder. Can you eat a bag of chips a day without gaining weight? Is it better to be an active exerciser and overweight than to be sedentary and thin? Should I smoke e-cigarettes or use snus? Should I cut out meat and sugar—or neither? Experts come together to answer the questions they don’t usually get asked. And politicians try to figure out what they actually want to achieve—and how. “Health for the Unhealthy” is hosted by Dr. Vincent Amble-Naess and EPHI’s communications director, Nicolina Söderqvist. ---The Environment and Public Health Institute (EPHI) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank and forum that addresses the environmental and health challenges of our time.

A market economy and individual freedom are needed to overcome threats to our environment and health.

Humanity faces both serious and urgent environmental and health problems. We have neither the time nor the money to prioritize anything but the most effective actions. Today, however, environmental and health issues are too often characterized by symbolic politics and wishful thinking.
