http://www.theinternational.org/articles/454-mexicos-nutrition-transition-makes-it-th Making matters worse - American fast food industry continues to widen its reach across Latin America in the new millennium. London, Tim Lobstein - The policy and programs at Int'l Association for the Study of Obesity believes fairly recent influx of fast food in the region to be similar to introduction of smallpox and measles by European conquistadors 300 years ago. To evidence this, the average man in Mexico has gained 15 pounds while average woman has gained 19 pounds since the introduction of the first U.S. fast-food chain in 1985. Similarly, in Chile, men have gained an average of 14 pounds, while women have gained more than 18 pounds since 1989. Even more, the rates of death from cardiovascular diseases in Mexico and Brazil surpassed those in the U.S. in 2008, while Chile trails close behind, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). Most affected by Mexico?s ?nutritional shift? are the poor. According to Mexico?s National Nutrition Institute, ?In the poor classes we have obese parents and malnourished children. The worst thing is the children are becoming programmed for obesity. It?s a very serious epidemic.?

SWEET POISON - Happi reading and have a weekend. Diet soda in not a diet product!. It's a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It's far more likely to make you GAIN weight!. This products also contain formaldehyde which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin. Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics patient Especially with diabetics, Aspartame passes blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger & rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes same symptoms in non-diabetics as well. Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should never be given artificial sweeteners. Well!. You're informed! and you have the right to know. :) Last - Posted: 27-Jul-2013 15:18 |

http://www.theinternational.org/articles/454-mexicos-nutrition-transition-makes-it-th According to the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), 32.8% of Mexican citizens are considered obese, claiming the title over the U.S. with 31.8%. Meanwhile, Mexico has experienced a three-fold increase in rates of obesity and overweight among children since 1980, leaving 70% of today?s adult population overweight. Plight of city migrants - From year 1965 to 2000, urban population of Mexico grew by 36%, with a predicted 82% by the year 2030. On this point the FAO report contends: ?The most immediate cause of overweight and obesity is overconsumption of energy relative to physical requirements, yet nutritionists have long recognized that this does not explain why some people consume more than they need.? Speaking with the United Kingdom?s Daily Mail, Mexican resident of 20 years, Sally Neiman, says, '[Today] people go for more energy-intense foods. These are often high in sugar or fat. People drink Coca Cola as if it was water in order to have the energy to carry on ? and so many of the foods are rich in carbs, are full of cheese or are fried.' Coca-Cola for water...????. |

The usual aunties, uncles n pple's comment - why rap?. Every time a runner gets osteoarthritis in their knee, all their friends and family say, 'See? I told you so, shouldn't have run. You did this to yourself.' 'But when five non-runners get osteoarthritis, people just say, 'Well, I guess you're getting old.' |

First likely case of H7N9 bird flu spread by humans reportedChinese scientists on Wednesday reported the first likely case of direct person-to-person transmission of the H7N9 bird flu virus that has killed over 40 people since March. The development was " worrying" and should be closely watched, the team wrote in the British online journal bmj.com, but stressed that the virus, believed to jump from birds to people, was still inadept at spreading among humans. |

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/brain-eating-amoeba-infects-12-old-girl-195136989.html
A 12-year-old girl parasitic meningitis caused by a rare brain-eating amoeba. The Arkansas Department of Health and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that Kali Hardig contracted the disease after swimming in the Willow Springs Water Park in Little Rock, Ark. Hardig's mother, Traci, took her daughter to a local hospital one day after visiting the water park. " I couldn't get her fever down," Hardig told the Christian Post. " She started vomiting. She'd say her head hurt really bad. She cried, and she would just look at me and her eyes would just kind of roll." The brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri, causes a type of meningitis known as primary amebic meningoencephalitis, or PAM, according to the CDC. The single-celled microbe — found in warm, freshwater lakes and rivers — enters the body through the nose and travels along the olfactory nerves to the brain, where it destroys brain tissue. [The 9 Oddest Medical Case Reports] In U.S. most infections occur in the South during the summer months. PAM infections are rare: Between 2001 and 2010, just 32 infections were reported in the United States, according to the CDC. The microbe is not found in oceans or other saltwater bodies. Early symptoms of an infection with Naegleria fowleri usually show up within seven days of exposure and include neck stiffness, headache, fever, nausea and vomiting. Later, confusion, loss of balance, seizures and hallucinations can occur. The disease is usually fatal, even when treatment begins early. |

SWEET POISON - Happi reading and have a weekend. Oct 2001, My sis started getting very sick, had to stomach spasms n have hard time getting out of bed, had so much pain. Walking was a major chore. By Mar, 2002, had undergone several tissue n muscle biopsies n was on 24 various prescription medications. Doctors really could not determine what was wrong, feeling so sick n knew was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name n made sure her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted planned trip to Florida, basically in a wheelchair on Mar-22. On Mar-19, I called her to ask how is the test turn out?. They didn't find anything on the tests but believe she had MS. Recalling an article a friend e-mailed to me n asked my sis if she ever drank diet soda?. She told me - she did. I told her & e-mail her that article my friend, a lawyer had sent. My sis called me within 32 hrs after our phone conversation n told me she stopped drinking the diet soda & she could walk!. The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100%, but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to see her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home. Well, she called me n said her doctor was amazed she is going to call all MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind. In a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda n literally dying a slow and miserable death When she got to Floride Mar-22, and she is walking! No wheelchair!. This article saved her life. If it says 'SUGER FREE' on the label. Do not even think about it!. I have spent several days lecturing at the World Environmental conference on 'ASPARTAME', marketed as 'NutraSweet' 'Equal' and 'Spoonful'. In the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in U.S. in 2001 there's an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant. I stood up to said and was there to lecture on exactly on that subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus, Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis in not a death sentence, Methanol toxicity is!. Systemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame in the culprit. He / she continues its use, irritating the lupus to such a degree it may become a life-threatening condition.. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas. In cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly. This also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia. During a lecture, I said, If you are using ASPARTAME (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc) and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting, pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, un-explainable depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss. 'You probably have ASPARTAME poisoning!'. People were jumping up during the lecture saying, 'I have some of there symtoms. Is it reversible?'. (STOP and pause for thought, drinking diet sodas). This's a serious problem. Dr. Esparto (one of my speakers) remarked that so many people seem to be symptomatic for MS and during his recent visit to hospice, a nurse stated that six of her friends, who were heavy on Diet Coke addicts, had all been diagnosed with MS. This is beyond coincidence!. Diet soda in not a diet product!. It's a chemically altered, multiple SODIUM (salt) and ASPARTAME containing product that actually makes you crave carbohydrates. It's far more likely to make you GAIN weight!. This products also contain formaldehyde which stores in the fat cells, particularly in the hips and thighs. Formaldehyde is an absolute toxin andis used primarily to preserve 'tissue specimens.' Many products we use every day contain this chemical but we should not store in our body! Note - Dr. Roberts stated in his lectures that once free of 'diet products' and with no significant increase in exercise, his patients lost an average of 19 pounds over a trial period.
Aspartame is especially dangerous for diabetics patient. We found that some physicians, who believed that they had a patient with retinopathy, in fact, had symptoms caused by Aspartame. The Aspartame drives the bloodsuger out of control. Thus diabetics may suffer acute aspartic acid and phenylalanine are NEUROTOXIC when taken without the other amino acids necessary for a good balance.
Treating diabetes is about balance. Especially with diabetics, Aspartame passes the blood/brain barrier and it then deteriorates the neurons of the brain, causing various levels of brain damage, seizures, depression, manic depression, panic attacks, uncontrollable anger and rage. Consumption of Aspartame causes these same symptoms in non-diabetics as well.
Documentation and observaton also reveal that thousands of children diagnised with ADD and ADHD have had complete turnarounds in their behavior when these chemicals have been removed from their diet. So called 'behavior modification prescription drug' (Ritalin and others) are no longer needed, Truth be told, they were never needed in the first place!. most of this children were being 'poisoned' on a daily basis with the very foods that were 'better for them then sugar'. It's also suspected that the Aspartame in thousands of pallets of diet Coke and diet Pepsi consumed by men and women fighting in the Gulf War, maybe partially to blame for the well-known Gulf War syndrome.
Dr. Roberts warns that it can cause birth defects, i.e. mental retardation, if taken at the time of conception during early pregnancy. Children are especially at risk for neurological disorders and should never be given artificial sweeteners. There are many different case histories to relate of children suffering grand mal seizures and other neurological disturbances talking about a plague of 'eurological diseases directly caused by the use of this deadly poison.'
Herein lies the problem: There were congressional hearing when Aspartame was included in 100 different products and strong objection was made concerning its use. Since this initial hearing, there have been two subsequent hearings, and still nothing has been done. The drug and chemical lobbies have very deep pockets. Sadly, MONSANTO's patent on Aspartame has expired!. There are now over 5,000 products on the market that contain this deadly chemical and there will be thousands more introduced.
Everybody wants a 'piece of the Aspartame pie.' I assure you that MONSANTO, the creator of Aspartame, knows how deadly it is, and isn't it ironic that MONSANTO funds, among others, the American diabetes Associaton, the American Dietetic Association and the Conference of the American College of Physicians?.
New York Times - These (organizations) cannot criticize any additives or convey their link to MONSANTO because they take money from the food industry and are required to endorse their products. Senator Howard Metzenbaum wrote, presented a bill n would require label warnings on products conraining Aspartame, especially regarding pregnant women, children and infacts. The bill would also institute independent studies on the known danders and the problems existing in the general population regarding seizures, changes in brain chemistry, neurological changes and behavioral symptoms.
The bill was killed for it profitable business, that and death on an un-suspecting and un-informed public.
Well!. You're informed! and you have the right to know. :)

If you want to maintain a sharp memory, you may want to brush up: People who have fewer natural teeth remaining perform more poorly on memory tests, a new study suggests.
Looking at 273 people ages 55 and older, the researchers found a modest but significant relationship between a person's number of natural teeth and his or her performance on memory tests. The link held when researchers took subjects' ages into account. In other words, it wasn't simply that both teeth and memory abilities tend to disappear with age. Although the reason for the link isn't entirely clear, the new findings are in line with previous animal and human studies, suggesting that the presence of natural teeth has an impact on cognitive function, and having fewer teeth may be regarded as a risk factor for memory problems in the elderly...humm?? |
