Ray Moynihan, Author Byron Bay, 2481 Send response to journal: Re: Author's note	Mr Neville Rigby correctly points out that the combined reserves of the International Association for the Study of Obesity (IASO) were reported in its annual report as more than 1Million GBP. An erroneous reference to the task force (International Obesity Task Force, IOTF) having these reserves, rather than the body that resulted from the merging of the IOTF and IASO, inadvertently entered the article during the editing stage. (Obesity task force linked to WHO takes "millions" from drug firms. BMJ 17 June, 2006) Competing interests: None declared
