Parents Outlive Children
"Children born in the year 2000 or later are not expected to
outlive their parents" stated Dr. David Katz of the Yale
Preventive Medicine Research Center in New Haven, Connecticut at
a nutrition conference last April. In March of last year, Dr.
Katz quoted in a Wall Street Journal article that a 'poor diet
in kids is more dangerous than alcohol, drugs, and tobacco
combined!"
Is this guy crazy? Could this really be happening? Are American
kids really that sick?
Think of some kids you know. Do they have dark circles under
their eyes? What about there skin? Does it have a healthy glow
or a dull, clammy look? What about their hair? Their physic? Are
they lean or a little on the chunky side?
If you know healthy kids today, statistics are showing they may
be sick in the future. The food children and teens are allowed
to eat today, will determine the disease they contract tomorrow.
If we do not pay attention to what our children are eating, in
the next 10 years we will see 16 & 17 yr olds dying of heart
disease on a regular basis, according to Dr. Katz.
Is there evidence today backing up Dr. Katz's claim outrageous
claims?
According to the Children's Environment Health Network, cancer
kills more kids than any other disease. We're talking about
acute leukemias and tumors of the brain, nervous system,
lymphatic system, kidneys, bones, and muscles. Dr. Delia Garcia,
Radiology Oncologist in St. Louis has already begun treating
teenagers with breast cancer. She believes kids should be
considering their prom date, not their cancer treatment.
Next, according to the International Journal of Obesity, type 2
diabetes, previously referred to adult onset, has increased 10
fold in the past twenty years. This increase is so startling
that it is being called an epidemic. Researchers are studying
this new phenomenon and do not yet fully understand the reasons
for such a change, however many believe that the increased
incidence of obesity in children and adolescents, along with
sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits, is responsible.
Last, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that
today over 8 million children have asthma, up 232% in the last
40 years. The American Lung Association reports that asthma is
the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under
the age of 15.
Why are our kids so sick? One reason is we eat too much bad
food. The top 3 foods consumed in America are hot dogs, white
bread and coffee. In 1970 we spent 6 billion on fast food.
Today, we spend over 110 billion. Americans spend more on fast
food than higher education, books and computers.
Over 4500 published medical studies have proven that fruits and
vegetables are the key to disease prevention. All major health
organizations agree that fruit and vegetable nutrition is key to
a healthy life.
I'd like to share an easy solution for you and the children you
love. This solution has indisputable research from high caliber,
reputable, independent universities with published clinical
research. This solution will provide your body with much needed
antioxidants. Our bodies are whole food deficient, not vitamin
deficient. This solution will deliver whole food nutrition from
25 different fruits and vegetables to your body everyday. You
can no longer ignore the health epidemic in America today and
the crisis our children face. Would you like to help your body
fill the nutritional gap in you and your families life? I
believe Dr. Katz's comments are on target. Please visit
