You Are What You Eat
We are addicted to fats, sugars and salt. We crave it.
The food industry knows this and it acts like the Genie floating out of the lamp, to grant our every wish. Americans spend more than $1 trillion on food every year, and more than 90 % of it is on processed food.
An astounding 40% of American children are now overweight and more than 1/3 of the adults are obese.The estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. in 2008 was $147 billion. The medical costs for people who are obese were $1,429 higher than those of normal weight.
Obesity related conditions include Stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease and certain types of Cancer, which are some of the leading causes of preventable death.
Not only are there fat facts, but there is growing concern of chemicals and heavy metals in our bodies, starting in-utero.
Scientific studies like The China Study (Nutrition link to disease) and The Body Burden (The Pollution in Newborns) have shockingly described the chemical load our bodies have been exposed to and are carrying. Direct links to degenerative and life threatening diseases have been described linking them to animal products, soil contamination, pesticides, to name a few.
These truths cannot be denied especially after studies of reversed heart disease by Dr. T. Colin Campbell from nutrition changes alone paves the way to healthier living.
Chose wisely!
