 Gerald Reavens has labeled Syndrome X:
• significant inflammation of the arteries, which can cause heart attack and stroke
• elevated blood pressure (hypertension)
• elevated triglycerides—the other fat in the blood beside cholesterol
• lowered HDL (good) cholesterol
• increased LDL (bad) cholesterol
• increased tendency to form blood clots
• development of significant "uncontrolled" weight gain—usually around the middle (called central obesity)
When all of the Syndrome X factors are combined, our risk of developing heart disease actually jumps twentyfold. |

 Perhaps, given that diabetes and obesity are now epidemic among teens, we should stop persuading children to drink and eat the products that make them diabetic and obese.
I know, it makes wholly too much sense to be adopted by Big Business (or even most politicians). They'd have to distort it in some way, like getting an ex-President (Clinton, maybe?) to sign on to some watered-down "voluntary" industry self-regulation that will ultimately prove entirely ineffective. Which is, of course, the whole point of the exercise. |

 The end result is reduced absorption of carbohydrates and lower blood glucose levels, which may be beneficial in cases of diabetes or obesity.2
Green tea is also a source of vitamins. Aside from the polyphenols, vitamin C is probably the most prevalent nutrient in green tea. A gram of green tea provides about two milligrams of vitamin C. Vitamin C levels in black tea are much lower, since much of this vitamin is lost during the oxidation process. Other vitamins found in varying amounts in tea are vitamin B2, vitamin D, vitamin K, and the carotenoids (a family of fat-soluble pigments). |
| The combined effects of green tea may make it applicable to the treatment of obesity. Sixty obese middle-aged women were placed on a diet of 1,800 calories per day. Some of the women took green tea supplements with breakfast, lunch, and dinner; the others took placebo pills. After two weeks on this regimen, the women taking green tea extract had lost twice as much weight as the placebo group. Results were even more impressive after the full month of the trial; the green tea users had three times the weight loss of the women who were simply dieting. |

| But wait: the soda companies say sugary drinks have nothing to do with obesity! And, better yet, the American Diabetes Association claims there's no link between sugar and diabetes! (Not sure how they can still say that one with a straight face, but they somehow manage it.)
Before nutritional insanity turns the entire nation into a flock of drooling, sugar-addicted trolls, it's time to put some common sense back into the kinds of messages we allow to be broadcast to our children. |

 Russell Blaylock, the author of Excitotoxins, MSG is damaging to the brain, nervous system, endocrine system and even promotes obesity by interfering with appetite regulation. Baby food manufacturers voluntarily removed MSG from baby foods decades ago after being accused by consumer advocates of harming babies' nervous systems with the chemical. MSG remains widely used today in canned soups, breakfast sausage, salad dressing and other commercial foods. |

 Most of them "reward" their children with junk food, sugary sodas, candy laced with petrochemical coloring additives and refined sugars that promote obesity and diabetes. Most parents don't even make any real effort to follow nutritional discipline at home -- they simply buy whatever their children saw advertised on television, caving in to the all-powerful "nag factor" that junk food companies fully exploit when marketing to children.
As a result, human children are the least healthy youngsters of any species on the planet. |

 They aren't willing to stand up and say you should have absolutely no refined sugar in your diet, or that high fructose corn syrup promotes diabetes and obesity.
If you have good nutrition and you avoid exposure to environmental chemicals, then you won't express a disease even if you have the so-called gene that has been linked to it. These aren't genetic disorders -- there isn't some mysterious physical problem that can be corrected with surgery. There certainly isn't a disease caused by lack of pharmaceuticals, so treating them with drugs is ridiculous. |

 In fact, we're already seeing it: Countries like Thailand and Japan are witnessing unprecedented obesity for the first time in history, and diseases like diabetes and depression are only a few years away from becoming pandemic throughout Asia. This is almost entirely from their adoption of western diets and medical practices.
Those nations that continue to worship western culture are engaged in a dangerous game of paying homage to precisely the wrong group. |

 Chronic and acute stresses can cause or aggravate most diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, ulcers, insomnia, hypertension, and obesity. According to some estimates, prolonged stress is the initial reason for approximately 80 percent of common diseases (excluding inherited and developmental defects). Acute and chronic stresses also can result in immune suppression; this fact is well-known to athletes. Scientists have demonstrated that both acute and chronic levels of stress contribute to elevated Cortisol levels. |

 In my opinion, PepsiCo is a highly destructive corporation that is partially responsible for obesity, diabetes, depression and bone disorders among hundreds of millions of people around the world. Through its aggressive (and deceptive, in my opinion) marketing campaigns, lack of corporate ethics and ready willingness to exploit human beings for profit, PepsiCo has risen to be one of the most financially profitable yet ethically bankrupt organizations on the planet.
If PepsiCo were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, humanity would be healthier the very next day. |

| Obesity has become an epidemic in the pantry of plenty, yet in addition to our ever-expanding waistlines, we often are deficient in many nutrients, including magnesium, zinc, selenium, folate, vitamin D, omega 3 fatty acids, and even dietary fiber. Herbs are no substitute for healthier eating.
In addition, the average American gets slightly more than seven hours of sleep per night. In one study, it was stated that in 1910 the average person in this country slept nine hours per night. If this is accurate, it means most Americans are sleep deprived. |

Cancer prevention encompasses the use of dietary measures (5 servings of fruits and vegetables), drugs, chemicals or nu-traceuticals (called chemoprevention), avoidance of carcinogens (smoking, excessive solar radiation, toxic chemicals like chlorine), and screening for early-stage cancer (pap smears, colonoscopy, PSA prostate tests, skin exams, etc. |

| What do I mean by central obesity? This has to do with how your weight is distributed in your body. If it is evenly dispersed all over or you are heavy in the bottom (pear-shaped), you may need to drop some weight, but in relation to Syndrome X, you are fine. But if you have gained substantial weight around your waistline (are apple-shaped), you may be in trouble.
I have had many patients in their late twenties or early thirties come into my office complaining that they are gaining a significant amount of weight. |

 Despite increasing rates of obesity in children and teens, the Senate hasn't held a hearing on the sale of junk foods in schools since 2003.
"Though many states and local school districts are undertaking heroic efforts to improve the nutritional quality of foods sold in schools, the junk-food industry fights those efforts tooth and nail," said CSPI nutrition policy director Margo G. Wootan.
"The industry likes to say school foods should be subject to local controls," said Wootan, "yet it strikes back at the efforts of parents and health professionals when they try to act locally. |

 One characteristic of the obesity induced by excitotoxins is that it doesn't appear to depend on food intake126 This could explain why some people cannot diet away their obesity. It is ironic that so many people drink soft drinks sweetened with NutraSweer® when aspartate can produce the exact same lesions as glutamate, resulting in gross obesity. The actual extent of MSG induced obesity in the human population is unknown.
It is also possible that many of today's reproductive problems, such as infertility and menstrual disorders, are similarly related to excitotoxin exposure in early life. |

 Vitamin D, as you will learn in our free report, The Healing Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D, prevents not only cancer, but also diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, heart disease and obesity. It's the miracle nutrient of the millennium, and yet the entire medical profession tries desperately to pretend that vitamin D has no biological function whatsoever. Hence the support of sunscreen (the anti-vitamin D product).
Sunscreen directly promotes vitamin D deficiency. |

 Consuming it causes migraine headaches, endocrine system damage, loss of appetite regulation (leading to obesity), neurological damage in fetuses (when consumed by expectant mothers) and many other problems. This is well known throughout the industry. Baby food manufacturers, for example, voluntarily removed MSG from their products decades ago following a public outcry about the dangers of MSG to babies and infants. |

 According to the hypothesis, most of the damage to our health that has been wrongly attributed to fats for the past half century—heart disease, obesity, cancer, diabetes, and so on—can rightly be blamed on refined carbohydrates. But the healthy skepticism Taubes brought to the lipid hypothesis is nowhere in evidence when he writes about the (also unproven) carbohydrate hypothesis. |

 It also lessens the likelihood of developing obesity, hypertension, strokes, and adult-onset diabetes. There are no known adverse effects of such a diet when mineral and vitamin contents are adequate.
"Children and adolescents require major attention to develop early habits of optimal nutrition. Schools should assume a significant leadership role in achieving this goal.
"Speculation about the degree of public compliance must not influence the accuracy of the recommendations. |
