Thanks for your last post. And oh so refreshing to be writing in a thread which is not filled with insults between posters!

I have just re-read the article. Indeed David highlights a frightening situation. But we do have time. We can all act now on life style changes.

Mental health and mental illness is my expertise area. And the chronicity there is just as grim, but sadly gets very little attention because there are no votes in mental illness.

I wish more people would read this article.

Cheers

Apologies - of course I meant Kevin.

Ironer, very true. Fluoride is also present in all processed foods, as fluoridated water is used for processing, a double whammy for most.

To reverse the situation we face, requires changing the entire system. However that would create massive problems, as a large proportion of our economy is based on fast food and processing industries.

Changing this would create economic hardship for many, a difficult problem.

We currently face a situation where people below their mid forties are suffering a collapse of their health. These people represent the first of the junk food generation.

Before that, we didn't have take aways except for the local fish and chip shop or occasional hamburger shop. Most only got to eat from these outlets once a week if that. All food was reasonably clean, fresh and unprocessed,. If you bought a can of baked beans in those days, it was baked beans. Leave the can open overnight and it went off. Today you can leave processed food for days and it is still the same. There was real milk, not processed, eggs and meat were from free ranging animals that ate natural foods. Now there is very few consumable animals that have not lived their lives on chemically saturated foods.

We are faced with the possibility of seeing the loss of generations below the 50's age bracket, because their biological systems can't sustain life on chemically saturated non nutritional foods.

Facts, rising incidence of type 2 diabetes in the young, 40-50% incidence of obesity in teenagers, 20's-30's age groups. Growing incidence of organ failure in the 30'-40 age group.

All that can be done is for individuals to take control of their lives and of those that they are responsible for. That way they can provide an example for others, an hopefully, understanding of the situation will grow. But I doubt it as people of today, just don't feel that they should be responsible for their health, as media propaganda tells them , take that pill and you will be right. Whilst the opposite is the case.

Kalweb, it is so sad the powers that be, refuse to accept reality. As you know, quite a proportion of mental illness is related to the chemical imbalance of the system. Lots of this relates to nutritional imbalance.

I have seen what a change in dietary practise can do for the mental condition of some people. It can be quite dramatic, sadly those form of changes are always rejected by the paranoid elite.

Having been involved with cognitively impaired people at various times, it sickens me as to how badly their diet is handled. It is very rare for their situation to be approached from a lifestyle perspective, rather than a pharmaceutical drugged aspect. Of course, diet won't solve their problem, but it will make their, lives easier and allow them to cope in a more healthy way.

You would know more than I, but I have yet to see any facility that approaches their clients health from a nutritional standpoint. It is mostly, drug them and feed them rubbish. If we could change that, then the cost of caring would drop dramatically. But then we know who has the greatest influence in these facilities, don't we.

The major result of bad nutrition, is the collapse of the immune system, as we are seeing throughout the world. No drug will fix that.
