Children’s health in America is changing. The sustained energy that seems to last the whole day is part of childhood. We equate childhood with physical performance and vitality.

CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS

The rate of chronic health conditions among children in America has increased from 12.8% in 1994 to 26.6% in 2006, for conditions such as obesity, asthma and behavior/learning problems, according to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

SUGAR

A day filled with sugar, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, maltodextin, and other odd sweeteners will change the playing field. Toxic artificial colors and sweeteners combine to take the octane out of childhood.

EPIGENETICS

The study of epigenetics tells a story. The not so good news is that there is sufficient evidence that adult lifestyle can change the health of their future children. The same bad behaviors that can shorten your life can predispose your offspring to the same health risks. This can happen before they are conceived.

DNA

Children’s health is a measure of your history. Taking extra measures to protect your health helps ensure healthy offspring. The message is loud and clear everyday choices affect future generations.

Your DNA may not be your destiny, but your health habits may be the foundation of your child’s future.

GENES

In a remote area of northern Sweden a tiny population revealed how genes work.

In a place called Norrbotten, in the 19^th century, peoples lives depended on the harvest. There were years in the 1800’s where there was total crop failure and famine. In other years in the same time period when crops were abundant and people were able to gorge themselves for months.

In the 1980’s, Dr Lars Olov Bygren, a preventive-health specialist who is at the prestigious Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, wondered what long term effects the feast and famine years might have had on children growing up in Norrbotten in the 19^th century. On them, on their offspring including their grandkids as well.

He took random sample of 99 individuals born in the Overkalix parish of Norrbotten in 1905 and used historical records to trace their parents and grandparents back to birth. By analyzing meticulous agricultural records, Byren and two colleagues determined how much food had been available to the parents and grandparents when they were young.

Bygren’s research showed that in Overkalix, boys who enjoyed those rare overabundant winters-kids who went from normal eating to gluttony in a single season –produced sons and grandsons who lived shorter lives. Bygren and his team controlled for certain socioeconomic variations, the difference in longevity was an astonishing 32 years. They also found significant drops in lifespan along the female line. This means the daughters and granddaughters of girls who went from a normal to a gluttonous diet also lived shorter lives.

Bygren showed that conditions in the womb affected the offspring’s health into adulthood. In 1986 Lancer published the first of two papers showing that if pregnant women ate poorly, her child would be at a significantly higher risk for cardiovascular disease

THE ANSWER

Bygren and other scientists have historical evidence that suggests powerful environmental conditions can leave an imprint on the genetic material in eggs and sperm. These genetic imprints can short-circuit evolution and pass along new traits in a single generation.

Patterns of how childhood chronic conditions have changed over time can be found in our lifestyles. The answer to obesity, asthma, behavior/learning problems, and metabolic syndrome has been found.

Food manufacturers understand the power of the taste of sugar, and use it in developing a product for mass production.

Products

The sugar flavoring is usually hidden in food products. Words like dextrose, cellulose, high fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, maltose, glucose, fructose, ethyl maltol, mannitol, sucrose, and sorbitol are used on the package.

Artificial sweeteners produce a sugar flavor. Sugar and the taste of sweetness stimulate the brain by activating beta endorphin receptor sites.

Deficits

Sugar sets up nutritional deficits. It has the ability to drain the body of vitamins and minerals. The body is not capable of utilizing this refined starch, unless the depleted proteins, vitamins and minerals are present.

Sugar taken on a daily basis produces a continuously over-acid condition, and more minerals are required from the body in an attempt to rectify this. In order to protect our physiology, calcium is taken from the places that depend on this nutrient. That is the primary reason that tooth decay and osteoporosis appear.

A general weakening to occurs. Excess sugar affects every organ. Since it is stored in the liver in the form of glucose (glycogen), the liver’s capacity is limited. When the liver is filled to its maximum capacity, the excess takes the form of fatty acids. These are stored in the most inactive areas: the belly, the buttocks, the breasts, and the thighs.

When these places are filled, fatty acids now find their way to your organs. The heart and kidneys are examples. These organs will not be able to funcion at full capacity, and the body will slow down. Now, all the systems in the body are affected by this reduced ability.

What is Sugar

Sugar is the basic element found in starchy food. Sugar cane contains 14% trace elements, minerals, and vitamins, plus chlorophyll. The sugar we purchase in the store for our consumption is made in a way that is so unappetizing.

Sugar is heated up in chalk-milk, so that calcium and protein are extracted. All the vitamin content is destroyed. In the second phase the sugar in mixed with acid chalk, carbonic gas, sulphur dioxide, and natrium bicarbonate.

Now, the mixture is cooked and cooled off several times. Then it is crystallized and a centrifugalize process is used. It is further treated with strontium hydroxide. It is not finished until it is passed over chalk carbon acid to clean it.

All dark coloring is removed by adding sulphuric acid, and then it filtered. The product’s chemical composition is C12 H22 011, which is now labeled “pure cane” sugar.

The Term Pure

Sugar has an atomic density of 99.4 to 99.5%. This density is usually seen in the category of poison. Sugar irritates the mucous membranes, tissues, glands, blood vessels and intestinal tract. Sugar also paralyzes the intestinal peristaltic functions. Besides all this it destroys brain cells and elevates the temperature of the body.

Using the term pure is like saying we have a lot of pure heroin.

Our Treat

This is our treat, and one that we give to people we love. Our children are bribed and shown love with sugary rewards. Our children will sow the bitter aftermath from our ability to produce a sweet poison.
