Summary
Here it is: the official announcement from the Journal of the American
Medical Association: poor diet and lack of physical exercise is going to
overtake tobacco as our #1 killer. That's right: our food supply is
killing us. Why? Because, of course, it's loaded with metabolic
disruptors, milled grains, processed carbohydrates, high fructose corn
syrup, hydrogenated oils and other disease-causing ingredients. It's
not helping much, either, that most people simply won't engage in
regular physical exercise. Now, according to even the AMA, all this adds
up to major chronic disease. Unfortunately, organized medicine will
continue to focus on using prescription drugs to combat this issue
rather than focusing on prevention and patient education. Because, after
all, every modern chronic disease -- cancer, diabetes, heart disease,
osteoporosis, and even clinical depression -- can be largely prevented
through good nutrition, regular physical exercise, supplementation with
health-enhancing superfoods and frequent exposure to natural sunlight.

- POOR DIET AND PHYSICAL INACTIVITY MAY SOON OVERTAKE TOBACCO AS LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH IN U.S.
- CHICAGO---About half of all deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to
largely preventable behaviors and exposures, with tobacco use and poor
diet/physical inactivity accounting for the majority of preventable
deaths, according to a study in the March 10 issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA).
- According to background information in the article, quantifying
modifiable behavioral risk factors, which are the leading causes of
death in the United States, will provide insight into the effects of
recent trends and indicate missed prevention opportunities.
- The burden of chronic diseases is compounded by the aging effects of
the baby boomer generation and the concomitant increased cost of illness
at a time when health care spending continues to outstrip growth in the
gross domestic product of the United States," the authors write.
- Only a few studies of coffee consumption and diabetes mellitus (DM)
have been reported, even though coffee is the most consumed beverage in
the world, according to background information in the article.
- CHICAGO---Pediatricians and other pediatric clinicians who use
individualized clinical judgment in treating infants with fevers can
effectively diagnose serious illnesses and provide appropriate follow-up
care, even when not following all the current clinical guidelines on how
to manage such cases, according to a study in the March 10 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
- According to background information in the article, infants with
fevers (febrile infants) often lack the symptoms necessary for
physicians to distinguish between a minor illness and one that is
life-threatening.
- "To avoid the consequences of failing to detect serious bacterial
illness (SBI), such as bacteremia (bacteria in the blood) and bacterial
meningitis, a variety of clinical strategies have been developed to
identify infants at high and low risk, including policies that require
extensive laboratory testing, hospitalization, and treatment with
intravenous antibiotics."
