“The winner with 19 doughnuts.
And while we all love a doughnut on occasion ..
In the United States we have escalating incidences of obesity,diabetes and heart disease ..costing Americans into the billions annually.
And so much of this preventable.
If we as a country are ever to move away from the break and fix model we having been using to manage our health and move towards a culture of prevention .. we need be reaching for a higher bar -especially for our children..
We can do better for our kids than this-

Method's Shiny Suds Video: Getting Behind The Household Product Labeling Act (VIDEO)
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 09:56:40 in Green
“While current law requires a list of immediate hazardous ingredients, companies do not have to list ingredients that may cause harm more gradually.
People deserve to know what toxic chemicals are found in their household products. This is especially important for children Children are not small adults; rather, they are a developing version of an adult. Simply put, children are under construction. They are unfinished and their developing systems are quite fragile.
We know, for instance, that in children the brain continues to develop into their twenties, and this makes their brains potentially more vulnerable to toxicants. They breathe much more rapidly, so they take in more toxins through their lungs.
In the work to prevent cancer risk when we have the opportunity to eliminate unnecessary and preventable exposures to those toxins found to harm human health we should.

For children, depending on the exposure, some of the first systems to show negative health effects can be the neurological and respiratory systems.
The effects of environmental exposures on children are of particular concern when we consider the rising incidence of pediatric cancers. Never before has there been so much cancer in children.

Power Company Trying To Switch Off Cancer Patient's Oxygen Machine

“In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared the "War Against Cancer." - I have to wonder how many people since that time like Mable Randon on oxygen had their power shut off or have been under threat of having their power shut off.
There is no more lethal influence on cancer than poverty, Being poor can affect a person's chances of getting cancer- because of lifestyle, environment, less access to screenings, diagnoses, or treatment.
Sadly Mable Randon was not the first and won't be the last. In war on cancer billions have been spent on research and yet last year cancer took the lives of about 230,000 Americans-almost 70% more than in in 1971....
Billions of dollars spent and millions of lives lost -and today more cancer ever...
All that and seemingly we have lost site of humanity .....
Thankyou for shedding light on this story.

Pesticides Linked To Parkinson's

“I think it is important to remember as a society we often make the leap to "safety" when there is a lack of science-
A lack of science does not translate to safe.
But truth be told in laboratory studies for pesticides have long been linked with human health risks to not only include Parkinson's but cancer as well.
In my family for instance we have a lot of cancer- we never did before my generation-though ironically all the families in my neighborhood where I grew up have a lot of cancer..so while it runs in my family it also runs in my neighborhood.
If we have an opportunity to reduce the unnecessary and preventable exposures to things like pesticides we should in light of the fact we know that sound science has found negative health outcomes to human health.
When we work to prevent cancer -we work towards stopping cancer at the cause-when we work to prevent cancer there is an opportunity to reduce many types of illnesses.

“We need to be looking at at our own communities as well where environmental exposures that in hindsight may not be as obvious or extreme.
It is not unusual for environmental exposures linked with human health risks to be falling below our radar because they often take on the natural landscapes of our lives.

“I agree with you 100%
My hospital is a non profit cancer hospital that offers and encourages acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, and meditation for palliative care with cancer patients- which have been wonderful resources for patients.
But hospital food is an aspect that often gets overlooked. Healthy eating is a necessity- yet many hospitals which stress healthy eating to their patients then provide them with unhealthy food within the hospital! Another huge problem is that hospital food tends to taste horrible! There are so many cases of feeble or elderly patients who aren't eating and who then are put on feeding tubes- when in fact they would have eaten, if only they'd been given food that was the least bit palatable. Even hospitals which serve more natural, less processed foods often do nothing to make these foods tasty.
Another big issue is MARIJUANA. This is one of the best alternative treatment out there for a whole host of problems, but especially with things like cancer, as it eases both pain and nausea from chemo. I don't know any doctor (though I'm not saying they don't exist) who doesn't realize the incredible benefits of marijuana. The illegality of marijuana for mainstream society is bad enough...b
