Being obese triples the risk of heart disease as well as produces a tenfold increase in the chance of developing diabetes.

The truth is, they're both obese because the parent refuses to exercise, and the child mimics the parent. Plus, they both follow the same obesity-promoting diet. It has nothing to do with genes and everything to do with something called parental modeling.

Yes, that's right, an obese heart surgeon. I was also hypertensive and insulin resistant, and I suffered from migraine headaches and arthritis. Even though I ran twenty miles a week, visited the gym daily, ate "healthy," and always had a Diet Coke in my hand, I was still obese. I lost weight on every diet that came down the pike, and then rationalized its inevitable return. Until I discovered how to communicate with my genes, I couldn't seem to deal with the extra weight, high cholesterol, arthritis, and tendency to diabetes-the very same health issues many of you are facing.

Even though there seems to be a stronger genetic component to Type 2 diabetes, it is also closely related to lifestyle; 85 percent of people who have this type of diabetes are obese. That means it's currently much more common in the developed world because easy access to high-calorie, low-nutrient junk food means so many more people are obese—but it seems clear that the predisposition to Type 2 diabetes exists across population groups. There are higher levels of incidence in certain populations, of course—but even that tends to occur hand in hand with higher levels of obesity.

In the last thirty years, the percentage of obese two- to five-year-olds has doubled—and the percentage of obese six- to eleven-year-olds has tripled. A baby girl born in 2000 now has a 40percent chance—almost a coin toss—of developing of Type 2 diabetes, and that's directly related to the huge surge in heavy kids. What's even sadder is that many of these children are showing symptoms of obesity-related illness while they're still kids.

This helps the overweight or obese person to survive a major, possibly fatal, toxicity crisis such as a heart attack, septic poisoning, or massive infection.

Halloween sugar, food additives and the commercialization of holidays Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

A holiday that's fitting for the most obese nation in the world Every Halloween, I stare in astonishment at the scene playing out in front of my eyes. I'm not astonished at the children, mind you: They're just doing what they've been taught to do by television advertisements and peer pressure. I'm more astonished at the parents who waddle down wide suburban streets, diabetic and obese, rallying their children to ring yet another doorbell and cash in on the windfall of candy profits made possible by the mass commercialization of the holiday by candy manufacturers.
