 Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health Review," (1992). 

The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000 chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer. 
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead, formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

U.S. Report Downplayed Health Problems
By MARK SHERMAN

WASHINGTON (AP) - Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said that his department was wrong to edit a report about health care for minorities to downplay serious problems and emphasize improvements.....

The report found a higher death rate for cancer among blacks and low-income Americans in its review of the nation's health care system. It also said those groups are less likely to be screened for certain cancers and less likely to avail themselves of other preventive services.

The final version eliminated the conclusion that unequal care for minorities is a national problem...

Report Urges Americans to Reduce Sodium
By LAURAN NEERGAARD

WASHINGTON (AP) - Americans eat more than twice the salt they should but don't get enough potassium, an imbalance that fuels high blood pressure.

So says a long-awaited nutrition report, released Wednesday by the Institute of Medicine, that sets the nation's recommended intake levels of key nutrients.

Heart specialists praised the new salt recommendation while food manufacturers deemed it unrealistic. Three-quarters of Americans' daily salt intake comes from sodium hidden in common processed and restaurant foods, such as frozen dinners and spaghetti sauce.

While factors such as weight and exercise play a role, salt and blood pressure go hand-in-hand: Eat too much, blood pressure rises. Eat less, it drops. Some 50 million Americans have high blood pressure - putting them at risk for heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease - and another 45 million are pre-hypertensive.

Food labels today set daily sodium consumption at 2,400 milligrams, the equivalent of a heaping teaspoon of salt.

The new recommendation is that most people get just 1,500 milligrams a day.

Yet women today eat, on average, twice that amount, men even more.

"We don't have our heads in the sand on this one," said Dr. Lawrence Appel, who co-authored the guidelines for the institute, an independent scientific organization that advises the government. "We realize where we are is quite a distance from where we should be ... and there are commercial interests that don't want this to happen."

"People can cook and prepare Western-style diets that are at that level" even though "it will take work right now," said Appel, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

Food makers countered that consumers will give up when faced with such strict levels.

"Dietary recommendations for all Americans need to be realistic," said Stephanie Childs of the Grocery Manufacturers of America.

The Institute of Medicine report also:

_Lists 2,300 milligrams of sodium as a maximal upper limit for the average adult's good health, but stresses that eating more than 1,500 is not recommended for anyone. In fact, because blood pressure rises with age, it says people over 50 should strive to eat just 1,300 milligrams a day, and those over 70 just 1,200 milligrams.

_Urges Americans to eat more potassium - 4,700 milligrams a day, roughly double current consumption. Potassium lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of kidney stones and bone loss. It is found in bananas, spinach, cantaloupe and numerous other fruits and vegetables; food sources are better than supplements.

_Says consumers shouldn't bother with the old adage "drink at least eight glasses of water a day." The average healthy person gets plenty of fluid from a mix of beverages - even those with caffeine - as well as the water content of fruits and other foods.

For sodium, "These are certainly healthy goals," said Dr. Daniel Jones of the American Heart Association. "They will be a challenge for individuals to achieve, but they can be achieved."

The American Public Health Association last year began pushing for the sodium in processed foods to be halved within 10 years. The new guidelines mean "the food industry really has to take this issue much more seriously now," said APHA's Dr. Stephen Havas of the University of Maryland.

If the new level makes it onto food labels, consumers could see significant changes. For example, a popular brand of canned clam chowder that provides 36 percent of daily sodium under today's guidelines would provide 57 percent of the new level.

The Food and Drug Administration plans to update numerous nutrient levels on food labels, based in part on Institute of Medicine advice. But the process will take years, and food makers will oppose a salt change.

"One size does not fit all when it comes to sodium intake," said Robert Earl of the National Food Processors Association, who contends the lower level brings no benefit to healthy people who aren't salt-sensitive.

Suddenly dropping sodium levels would hurt foods' taste, but companies are hunting for new recipes to provide a gradual decline, said the grocery manufacturers' Childs. Canned foods today contain 40 percent less sodium than a few years ago, she said.

Lena's Comment: Another Link To Mineral Deficiency and Hypertension! Almost every report coming out on illnesses and diseases in the last ten years are showing a link of one or more mineral deficiencies! Wouldn't it make since to balance the minerals in the body by supplementing?  They still don't have it right! They cannot put 2 and 2 together... It very probably is the chemicals used to process the salt and not the sodium that is the problem...

I've been telling you this for years and now it's finally coming to light! 

They still don't get how to correct the problem though! Wake Up!!! This was foretold in 1936 but nobody has been saying it loud enough or long enough! In the 1936 Senate document the words "fat bellies is written in plain language and why it exists." This problem is correctable with supplementing minerals and vitamins daily! The U. S. alone spent 1.7 Trillion dollars on medical care in 2003 and most could have been prevented if the two important supplements had been in every person's daily regimen!

Malnutrition Leaves Obesity Time Bomb
Feb 11,2004
By EMMA ROSS

LONDON (AP) - A legacy of malnutrition has left the developing world with an obesity time bomb as new generations increasingly take up an urban lifestyle, according to research released Wednesday by the United Nations.

The study by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization suggests that reducing malnutrition in pregnant women could prevent their children from becoming fat later in life and ease the impending worldwide crisis in obesity.

The research pulls together growing evidence that suggests hunger during pregnancy sets up babies to get the most out of the limited nutrition while they are in the womb by laying down fat and programs them to expect famine in the outside world.

When they grow up in an environment abundant in food and lacking in exercise - which is increasingly the case as developing nations urbanize - their bodies are not as well adapted as those who were well-nourished as a fetus.
 
"Many developing countries are currently facing this situation and the impact on their health situation could be dramatic," the agency's report said. "Hunger today and more food availability tomorrow will mean that many will shift from hunger to obesity and become vulnerable to one of the related ... diseases, such as diabetes and coronary heart disease."

It may take a few generations to break the cycle because girls who were undernourished in the womb are genetically more susceptible to give birth to malnourished babies, said Hazel Inskip, an epidemiologist at the University of Southampton in England who was not connected with the U.N. report but has conducted research on the topic.

The concept that adult diseases have their origin in fetal and infant development emerged in 1986 from the University of Southampton, but it has gained recognition among scientists in the last five years and has become a hot area of medical research.

Researchers have drawn parallels between low birth weight and later development of problems such as heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.

The theory postulates that when a fetus is undernourished, it diverts resources to areas it needs at the time, such as the brain, at the expense of organs it will need later in life, such as the lungs.

That may permanently change the baby's structure, functioning and metabolism, setting it up to be more vulnerable than normal to the development in adulthood of heart disease and related disorders, the theory holds.

Diets today are not in line with expert recommendations.

The study found that 36 percent of all countries in the world already have populations consuming more than the maximum recommended level of 300 milligrams of cholesterol per person per day. In the early 1960s, only half as many countries were overindulging.

"Likewise, 34 percent of all countries exceed the 30 percent threshold of fat in the diet, compared to 18 percent 40 years ago," the study said.

The U.N. food agency predicts the situation will continue to deteriorate as more than 40 percent of the additional calories consumed in the future will come from fats.

Falling food prices, rising incomes and rapidly increasing urbanization in the developing world mean that diets there are approaching the calorie levels that have for a long time been limited to consumers in rich developed countries.

"These ongoing changes in nutrition mean that a growing number of developing countries face the double burden of under- and over-nutrition," the study said. "The economic problems associated with nutrition transition will be felt more strongly in developing countries."

While people in more advanced countries may be able to cope with the increased costs, the story is very different in developing countries where many people will not be able to afford medical treatment, the agency said.
