USDA
Refuses to Enforce its Own Junk
Food Rule... |
|
According to a February 2005
Wall Street Journal poll, 83
percent of American adults
believed public schools needed |
 |
|
to do a better job of limiting
children's access to junk foods.
And for a while, it seemed the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) was on
board with that belief, until...
It
rejected a petition from Commercial
Alert to enforce its own competitive
foods rule, which prohibits public
schools from selling
"foods of minimal nutritional
value" during mealtimes in
school cafeterias.
Even
though the rule was originally
created to promote the health of
school children, the enforcement
from the USDA is, to say the
least, non-existent. In fact, in
March 2005, the organization
admitted in a report that it
doesn't know whether schools are
obeying the junk food rule at
all.
In
light of the events, the
executive director of Commercial
Alert argues that the USDA has
turned its back on American
children, who are suffering from
an epidemic of obesity, big
corporations come first, and
children's health comes last.
When
Will it End?
Unfortunately, the USDA's
refusal to enforce the
competitive food rule is just
the most recent in a series of
favors for the junk food
industry; the Administration has
also opposed restrictions on
junk food marketing to children.
Editors Note:
It is obvious that the USDA,
like the FDA, is a victim of
corporate conflict of interest.
This is clear in their work with
the food pyramid, for example.
So
please understand the importance
of taking your child's health
into your own hands--and not
relying on the actions of
corrupt federal bureaucracies to
protect them from the clutches
of industries exclusively
focused on their own bottom-line
profits.
In
regard to the food they eat at
school, I strongly recommend
taking whatever time is
necessary to prepare your
child's school lunches and
snacks yourself, using
unprocessed whole foods.
If
you have yet to view it I
highly recommend you rent or
view ?Super Size Me? a
recent documentary movie now
showing on HBO. It follows one
mans month long diet exclusively
from the MacDonald?s menu and
the immediate health and weight
issues which developed. It also
presents the valueless foods
most school meal programs
present to your children and
grandchildren. Very well done
and quite sobering?I actually
cried during the school lunch
segment. |
Fiber Cuts
Heart Risks by 27%...
Eating foods
which are rich sources of dietary fiber
such as fruits and cereals significantly
cuts the risk of death from heart
disease, researchers said last month.
Pooling the
results of 10 U.S. and European studies
with more than 330,000 adult men and
women, the report said people who
consumed 10 grams of fiber daily reduced
their risk of heart attack by 14 percent
and cut their risk of dying from
coronary heart disease by 27 percent.
A
medium-sized apple contains roughly 3
grams of fiber, while a slice of whole
wheat bread contains 1.5 grams and a
stalk of broccoli about 2.7 grams of
fiber.
The
recommendations to consume a diet that
includes an abundance of fiber-rich
foods to prevent (coronary heart
disease) are based on a wealth of
consistent scientific evidence," wrote
study author Mark Pereira, formerly of
Harvard University in Boston, and now at
the University of Minnesota.
The report
published in the Archives of Internal
Medicine said 5,249 of the subjects
developed heart disease and 2,011 died
from the disease during the six to 10
years of follow-up.
The health
benefit was strongest when the dietary
fiber came from cereals and fruit,
rather than vegetables. The reason may
be because common starchy and heavily
processed vegetables such as corn and
peas are poor in nutrients but high in
sugars that can lead to diabetes and
heart disease.
Fiber in the
diet has been found to lower blood
pressure, cut blood levels of
artery-clogging lipids and improve
insulin sensitivity.

Risk Less than 1 minute?

Greasing Your Wheels...
Most
Rheumatoid arthritis sufferers often
find relief by replacing the fats in
their diets with olive oil and other
monounsaturated oils.
When researchers put thirty men on a
diet high and olive oil, they found that
after two months their immune systems
have a lower level than normal of a
molecule that is involved the
inflammation and pain of arthritic
joints.
We have long
subscribed to the philosophy of
replacing saturated fats in your diet
with more natural oils and foods high in
omega-3 oils. This is a natural method
of lowering cholesterol levels and a way
you can reduce your risk of heart and
artery problems.
Now there is
another reason to make oils such as
olive oil, canola oil and rapeseed oil
your cooking oil of choice. The most
common easy to find cooking oil is
virgin olive oil available in any
grocery or store health food store.
The
beneficial effect which greatly helps
arthritis and sore joints does not
come from increasing amount of oil of
oil in your diet but instead from using
it in place of the other commonly used
cooking oils.
For both better health and prevention of
heart problems we highly recommend these
naturally and quite affordable cooking
oils.

The obesity epidemic
has taken more than a toll on America?s health;
the current boom in weight gain has fueled a
drastic increase in the amount spent treating
diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and
other weight-related illnesses, a study found.
In fact, since 1987,
private health insurance spending on illnesses
associated with obesity has increased more than
tenfold. Employers and privately insured
families spent $36.5 billion on obesity-linked
illnesses in 2002, compared to an
inflation-adjusted $3.6 billion in 1987.
And the Problem is
Only Worsening...
According to the
lead author and chairman of the department of
health policy and management at Emory University
in Atlanta, the reason medical costs have spiked
so drastically is because so many more Americans
are obese and being more aggressively treated
for weight-related health problems.
Comparing the
Data...
In an examination
of national surveys of about 14,000 people from
1987-2002--which included data from health care
spending, medical conditions and trips to the
doctor, hospital and pharmacy--researchers
found:
• On average, it
cost $1,244 more in 2002 to treat an obese
person than it did to treat a healthy-weight
person; in 1987 that difference was a mere $272.
• Diabetes
treatments rose 64 percent from 1987 to 2002.
• About a quarter
of the morbidly obese were treated for six or
more conditions in 2002, close to double
compared to 1987.
• The number of
obese patients treated for mental disorders,
upper gastrointestinal problems and high
cholesterol jumped 10 percent.
Thus, these
findings prove that as Americans continue to
pack on the pounds, medical costs continue to
boom.
