Purpose
To improve the quality of life foras many people as possible through better nutrition and education.
Why is Diet Improvement So Necessary???
U.S. health and health care consistently rates at the very bottom when compared to other industrial countries and even against some so-called 3rd-world countries.
Deaths from chronic health issues are accelerating at a furious pace and in the U.S. dwarf deaths from infectious diseases.
Why is Diet Improvement So Necessary???
47 million Americans have Metabolic Syndrome 100 million Americans are projected to be
diagnosed with diabetes by 2050 611,000 Americans die from heart disease each
year Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for
women in the U.S. About 1 in 4 women will die from this preventable disease.
75,000 Americans die from diabetes each year Medical expenses are the #1 reason for
bankruptcy in the U.S.
The Problem is . . .
1. Our food choices are killing us and ruining the financial future of our kids.
2. Our food choices are causing an ever increasing burden on a health care system that is not equipped to handle the problems.
3. The newest generation of Americans is predicted to have a shorter average lifespan than the one before it.
4. We’re being drawn down this path by a mix of MYTH AND MARKETING and lies.
How Much Sugar You Ask????? USDA estimates adult Americans consume 150
lbs of sugar/sweeteners per year
This translates into: 17,010 teaspoons of sugar per year 327 teaspoons of sugar per week 47 teaspoons of sugar per day
This does not take into account fruit sugar
The body only wants 2-3 teaspoons of sugar in the bloodstream at all times.
Deaths Due to Disease of the Heart: 1900-2011.
