Children Put at Risk by Junk Science

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

With children packing on the pounds, it was found that fast food and soft drinks made them happy. Well liquor makes a wino happy, at least for a few minuets. This comes from studies at a few universities. For the first time the relationship between unhealthy dietary habits and children’s psychological health was studied. What they looked at was the fast food and soft drink consumption on children’s body weight and unhappiness.

The subjects were 2366 children aged between 2 and 12 years. The food included French fries, pizza and hamburgers. The soft drinks included soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. A quarter of the children were overweight or obese. About 19 percent were sometimes or many times unhappy, sad or depressed. The finding was the children who consumed the fast food and soft drinks were more inclined to be overweight. This is rocket science. The study found them less likely to be unhappy. The happy drunk comes to mind.

What was found is that the mothers’ consumption influenced her child’s eating habits. Who would have known that. Children who ate fast food consumed more soft drinks. How are they going to wash down the food, and you do build thirst from sodium laden food. After having something with sodium many people desire something sweet. It was also found that lower income families were more prone to unhealthy diets. They also tend to be overweight or obese. Besides the expense, the education they are getting about food is surely lacking.

The conclusion of this was that there was going to be a trade-off between obesity and unhappiness. Policies and programs should be in place that should take this in to account. Aim for well-being without sacrificing the child’s happiness. Previous generations must have had unhappy children before the fast food craze.

Sugar is known to cause depression, and to get out of it the body needs more. It is an addictive substance. Of course science claims sugar is not an additive substance.. The tastes and additives in fast food are additive. It is set up that way for profits. Children are more vulnerable to the effects. If there is such as a thing as video game addition than this one surely exists. Try taking video games away and see if the person is unhappy.

A study and conclusion like the one above puts our children and the whole nation at risk. It shows a lack of understanding about nutrition. Fast food and sweet drinks have an addictive component. It is more so if there is a lack of physical activity. That would help stabilize the sugar highs and lows that come from the diet. The addictive nature of theses so called foods often results in overeating. The children are the real victims of the lack of understanding about what it takes to make a health human being. Children put at risk by junk science wind up on the wrong side of wisdom. What the so-called experts say and what is idea are two different things.
