_The Dangers of Genetically Modified Food_
__
The American Academy of Environmental Medicine warns the public to avoid
genetically modified (GM) foods, saying that there’s a causative
relationship between GM foods and adverse health effects. Many studies have
implicated GM foods in health problems, including accelerated aging, immune
dysfunction, insulin disorders, organ damage and reproductive disruption.
_Rising Rates of Chronic Health Problems in Kids_
The results of a study, just published in the February, 2010 issue of _JAMA
(the Journal of the American Medical Association)_, show an alarming
trend…
_“Chronic health conditions in American kids have increased dramatically in
recent years — rising from 12.8 percent in 1994 to 26.6 percent in 2006.”_
The results showed that the prevalence of chronic conditions, including
obesity, increased over the period of the study.
_The Bottom line: as the years pass, more and more American kids appear to
have chronic health problems when compared to similar youngsters in previous
years._
The increasing rate of obesity among children and teens is fueled by
lifestyle factors that include but are not limited to junk food and lack of
exercise.
An accompanying editorial in the same issue of JAMA found that as the
obesity epidemic has developed, the prevalence of other chronic health
conditions is also increasing among U.S. children.
There is an urgent need to better understand why this is the case and what
can be done about it. The editorial stated, “Addressing the increasing
incidence and prevalence of chronic conditions in children will ultimately
require major reforms in the child health system. The child health system
_needs to do a better job preventing childhood chronic illness_. The
possibilities for such changes are substantial, _as are the implications of
not acting_.”
_The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line…The Bottom Line…___
It should be clear…the further we get from a natural environment and natural
foods that are unaltered either in their cultivation or preparation, the
more problems we create for kids today and for future generations. The
further we get from a healthy lifestyle that includes both proper nutrition
and proper and adequate amounts of exercise, the greater the potential
negative effect on their health. When we start promoting healthly lifestyle
habits, we will get healthier kids.
