And the population Control Award goes to...
Health authorities in the U.S. announced this week that 100,000 lives could be saved each year if people used more sunscreen and got more frequent mammograms and prostate cancer screenings. This little stunt wins the population Control Award of 2007 because the more people actually follow this truly bad advice, the smaller the population will be in 2008.
How so? |

It is no exaggeration to say that the population of the United States of America is the single most physically and mentally diseased population ever observed in the history of human civilization. There has never been a group of people with the epidemics of chronic disease we now demonstrate in the U.S. And the only reason it's not being called a "crisis" is because our foods, drugs and consumer products have poisoned our minds to such a degree that people have basically lost any ability to think clearly. |

The FDA's recent approval of another dangerous diabetes drug estimated to have already killed 80,000 Americans is yet another runner up in the population Control Award category.
Another theory is that the U.S. government is so financially bankrupt that it can't afford to pay Medicare or Social Security benefits to anyone who reaches retirement age, so perhaps it's finding new ways to make sure people never reach retirement age! Keep 'em alive long enough to work 'em to death and collect their tax revenues, then knock 'em off before the benefits kick in! |

Oil acts like a helping hand to every individual; it leverages and magnifies the intentions and efforts of societies, allowing, for example, only two percent of the population to engage in farming activities in order to feed 100 percent of the population; whereas a hundred years go, around half of the population engaged in farming. We are able to build our cities, grow our population and businesses, and erect a large international travel infrastructure thanks to cost-effective energy that, according to Kunstler, is likely to start dwindling. |

Add in chemical taste enhancers (MSG), chemical sweeteners (aspartame), mind-numbing drugs (statins and antidepressant drugs) and brain-frying chemicals in personal care products (antibacterial soaps) and you get a population that very closely resembles the "nobody's home" elderly I was helping at the nursing home. We're beyond the point of reason in this country. In a democracy, when more than 50% of the population can't think clearly, that democracy is doomed to implode sooner or later. And we're well beyond 50% today. Out in public, I'm lucky to find 1 in 20 people who seem lucid at all. |

The bigger picture: Dead foods lead to dead people
I have heard a theory that says the governments of the world, concerned with the population carrying capacity of planet Earth, have unleashed a plan to greatly reduce the population by destroying the nutritional value of foods and supplements. Once malnutrition becomes rampant, the theory goes, the population will collapse through disease and infertility, and the remaining few will find themselves in a happy, low-population world where they can actually afford to buy a condo. |

I'm about to shed some light on how the powers that be manage to keep everybody so sick and diseased in the United States. My newest book, "Health Seduction" describes how food, drug and cosmetics companies trick people into buying hazardous products again and again. |

Washington knows it can't possibly rescue the entire population from a pandemic. Individuals and families are on their own, according to the U.S. government's document, "National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza" (NSPI), which encourages people to start preparing for infrastructure disruptions. That same document also deliberately says that you should not rely on the government to save you.
Most of the U.S. public, of course, has done nothing to prepare. |

Adams: In your research on this, how common is vitamin D deficiency in, say, the American population?
Dr. Holick: What's really remarkable is that vitamin D deficiency is epidemic throughout the entire United States, through all age groups. And I'll give you some examples. It's well known that elders throughout the United States are at high risk. And upwards of 40-60% are at risk for vitamin D deficiency. |

Typically, on average, probably 50-80% of nursing home residents, 50-60% of inpatient hospital patients, and on average I would estimate, 40% of the population in the United States at large, if they're not getting some sensible sun exposure, are probably deficient in vitamin D.
Adams: And let me bring you back to the mental effects of this. What's the correlation - beyond depression, are there other areas?
Dr. Holick: Well, there's a fellow in Australia that's done a very interesting study. |

Diseasification - The process of spreading the fictitious diseases through the population. This is how drug companies get rich: by manufacturing disease and convincing people they now suddenly suffer from it. See "Spontaneous Mass Diagnosis," below. Diseasification is greatly aided by drug madvertising (mass propaganda) designed to change the way people think about health and disease. Fear of public speaking used to merely be a fear. Now it's a disease, and there's a drug to treat it. Menopause used to be menopause. Now it's a disease, too. |

Our population is more diseased than any population in recorded history. Our mental capacity is diminished more than any other population. We have health care costs that are bankrupting our corporations and bankrupting our economy. We are on the verge of a collapse in part caused by a lack of mineralization. It sounds simplistic, but it's absolutely true. Health is the foundation of all abundant civilizations. Without health, there can be no trade, education, peace or abundance. Without mineralization, there can be no health. |

But despite the toxic nature of the products — and the large population of nail salon workers who use them on a daily basis — very little epidemiological or occupational health research has been conducted on this population of women, according to a 2007 analysis of studies by Women's Voices for the Earth, Glossed Over.20
The few studies that have been conducted indicate cause for concern. Occupational health studies show decreased attention and processing skills as well as increased asthma in nail salon workers compared to women who don't work in salons. |

About 10% of the population consumes less than one serving of vegetable per day.
About Fruit Intake
On any given day about 29% of the population consumes at least the minimum number of servings of fruit recommended (2 servings per day); 24% consume the number of servings recommended based on caloric intake (2 servings per day for those consuming less than 2200 calories, 3 for those consuming 2800 calories, 4 for those consuming 2800 calories or more). About 48% consume less than one serving of fruit a day.

If drugs are so good for everybody, shouldn't we be the healthiest population in the world? Where are those statistics? Well, they don't exist!
We're the most diseased population in the world, the most diseased in the history of the world. We have never seen a population this diseased, and we're taking more drugs than anybody. We're spending the most money on healthcare. We're supposed to have the greatest healthcare system in the world, yet we're the sickest!
We're the craziest in this country, too. |

We have depression, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and a long list of other chronic diseases that are devastating our population, and not just our adults and senior citizens, but now our children too. It's very clear that the system of health care we have in our country does not work.
Over 40 percent of our population has no health insurance. Approximately 99 percent of our population (and the vast majority of licensed physicians) remains completely and utterly ignorant of the relationship between nutrition and health. |
| We have more people on drugs in this country than anywhere in the world, we're spending more per capita on healthcare than any country in the world, and yet we are the most diseased population in the world (barring plagues and the like).

Unless something is done to protect the honeybee population soon, many fruits and vegetables may disappear from the food chain.
The results of a limited study at Landau University have been reported in newspapers around the world, stating that radiation coming from cell phones may be directly responsible for the disappearance of bee populations around the globe.
However, according to the researchers of the German study its results were based on cordless phones, which work on a different type of radiation than cell phones. |

Evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption protects human health is accumulating from large population (epidemiological) studies, human feeding studies, and cell culture studies. Listed below are a few selected population studies from the literature linking fruit and vegetable consumption to health. For an excellent review concerning vegetables, fruit and cancer prevention, see Steinmetz and Potter, Journal of the American Dietetic Association 1996;96:1027. |

American Adults Are in a Sad Physical and Mental Condition
If you think school age children are befuddled in their thinking, consider the adult population. If you think the young population is half sick or completely ill, our adult population is even worse! I have noted that 58% of our youth between 18 and 25 would be unfit for military service. If we examined our adult population aged from 25 to 75, what a group of physical and mental wrecks we would find! |

This study shows us that if we exclude French fries and baked potatoes, more than half of the population is not eating any vegetables.
Worse yet, almost 60 percent of the population is not eating any fruits. In truth Americans are not eating a healthy diet even though they know better.
Is it any wonder that more than 50 percent of our nation is now considered to be significantly overweight? When you combine these poor eating habits with the high-glycemic foods discussed in Chapter 14, it is no wonder that we have an epidemic of insulin resistance and diabetes in the U.S. |

Of course, that study was on a specific subgroup of the population— postmenopausal women—and caution would dictate that we shouldn't necessarily extrapolate the results to the general population. Still, taken as a whole, the evidence for the antioxidant capacity of coffee is compelling at the very least.
Two of the antioxidants responsible for coffee's health benefits are chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. Both are strong antioxidants, and coffee beans are one of the richest dietary sources of chlorogenic acid in the world. |
