USA lifespan increase over 2 decades lags behind Europe

Life Span is dropping

Life span in America is dropping. Pop caused obesity and the Trans Fatty Acids hidden in fast food and franchise restaurant food, school and employee cafeteria food and many items in our grocery stores, are a one-two knockout punch.

Transfats have been categorically proven to increase heart attacks and heart arrhythmias; to cause poorer pregnancy outcomes by increasing pre-eclampsia and decreasing fetal birth weight; to impact nerve health potentially lowering IQ in the new born and infant and damaging the retina increasing macular degeneration and blindness in the elderly. They also increase complications in diabetic patients of all ages.

Sugars in the large quantities in drinks and juices bypass the brains appetite center, stimulate high insulin levels and abdominal fat accumulation. Each meal eaten has hundreds of added liquid calories that we drink! That, not lack of exercise is resulting in our national obesity epidemic.

When eating out ask about Trans fats.

Your heart, your eyes and your baby’s brain depends on it.

And the only liquid you should drink with your meals is water. Or milk if you so desire.

Your life depends on it.
