Claude Nils Gustaf Marcus, (born August 19, 1952) in Stockholm, Sweden, is a pediatrician at Karolinska University Hospital and Professor at the Karolinska Institute, most notably renowned for his research relating to childhood obesity.

Career

Marcus graduated with a Medical Degree from the Karolinska Institute in Solna, Sweden in 1978. He thereafter practiced clinical medicine and became a pediatrician in 1985.

To date he has published over two hundred articles in international journals. His primary research area related to the regulating of fat cell metabolism as well as clinical obesity and diabetes.

Media appearance

Marcus regularly appears in various media outlets in debates relating to childhood obesity. In particular, he has propagated the introduction of a so-called “"sugar changeover tax” in, which would increase the price of unhealthy, sugary products such as confectioneries and soda and in turn subsidise a decrease of the Value Added Tax (VAT) on fresh fruit and vegetables.[2]

Marcus has also argued against the so-called Low Carb High Fat Diet (LCHF) and asserts that a high intake of saturated fat is harmful for the body and may cause cardiovascular disease.[3]

Early life and personal interests

Marcus is son to the painter and sculptor Gert Marcus and the poet Anne-Marie Söderlund. As a child he attended the highly acclaimed Adolf Fredrik's Music School in Stockholm, but after high school chose to pursue a career in medicine. Marcus has dedicated much of his spare time as a basketball coach for youth and adolescents in various basketball clubs in Stockholm.
