“According to the latest statistics, 17 percent of British boys and 16 percent of girls now fall in the obese category. In the US, 18 percent of American children between the ages of six and 11 are obese,” writes Dr. Joseph Mercola on his article, “How Do Babies Become Too Fat to Toddle?” For sensible advise on weight loss and weight management, click here: aim10alanreeves.blogspot.tw/ He continues: “In the US, the poorest people have the highest obesity rates—an indication that the problem stems from their food choices.. Something in the cheapest and most readily available foods is creating metabolic havoc. Refined fructose, typically in some form of corn syrup, is now found in virtually every processed food and fast food meal you can think of, and fructose actually “programs” your body to consume more calories and store fat. Grains are another culprit, as they quickly turn into sugar in your child’s body. These types of carbs (fructose and grains) affect the hormones insulin and leptin, both of which are very potent fat regulators. Obesity Is an Inevitable Outcome of a Processed Food Diet: Many parents, including those featured in this film, are confounded and befuddled about the cause of their child’s excess weight gain. The root of the problem becomes quickly recognizable when you start looking at the foods your child eats, and that includes baby food. In fact, some baby foods contain as much sugar and saturated fats as chocolate cookies or cheeseburgers. One 2009 survey of more than 100 foods for babies and toddlers found examples that were 29 percent sugar, and others that contained trans fats, which have been linked to heart disease. Are You Feeding Your Child Sugar All Day Long? Many Kids Are Hooked on Soda and Sugary Fruit Drinks Many children also drink soda every day. Many also drink ‘fruit juices,’ some of which contained little, if any, actual fruit juice andhundreds of grams of sugar in a liter. Parents often believed that fruit drinks were healthy for their kids, and that is precisely what the manufacturers want them to believe. As recently reported in the Guardian Express,5 kids are 40 percent heavier today compared to just 25 years ago, and a growing number of studies have linked rising childhood obesity rates to increased consumption of sugary beverages (including those sweetened with no- or low-cal sweeteners).” For sensible advise on weight loss and weight management, click here: aim10alanreeves.blogspot.tw/ References Mercola.
