Susan Ann Jebb OBE is Chair of the United Kingdom's Food Standards Agency and Professor of Diet and Population Health at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford.[1]

Career

At the Dunn Clinical Nutrition Centre in the early 1990s, she worked with Sally Poppitt, where she became head of obesity research.[2] In 1997 she said 'alcohol in moderation can be good for you, but it must in moderation'.[3] In 2015, she was criticised in an investigation by the British Medical Journal for her closeness to the sugar industry.[4]

Jebb's research has suggested that a referral to commercial weight management weight loss programmes delivered in the community may be a cost-effective way to treat obesity in primary care.[5][6][7] Her more recent work has studied how our perception of portion size as normal or smaller than normal can affect the amount of food we eat, and how shoppers can be influenced to choose decreased salt alternatives at the grocery store.[8][9]

Jebb is a member of The Times Health Commission. In January 2023, her comments were the subject of some media attention after she appeared to compare bringing cake into the workplace to passive smoking.[10][11][12]

Personal life

When at Cambridge, she lived in Steeple Morden, near Royston, Hertfordshire; she now lives in Shropshire.[13]

Awards and honors

Early on in her career, Susan Jebb was awarded the ASO's (the association for the study of obesity) and EASO 's (European association for the study of obesity) ‘Young Investigator’ award.[14]

In 2008, she was awarded an OBE for services to public health.[15] Susan Jebb has won the international 2015 John Maddox Prize for courage in promoting science and evidence on a matter of public interest.[16] In 2018, she was appointed Fellow of the Medical Academy of Sciences.[17]
