OVEREATING: The #1 Killer


Forget what all the medical journals say about it. Completely ignore the daily health trumpet known as the MSM (mainstream media) on the topic. Even your health coach, massage therapist or chiropractor may be unaware of this little factoid.
The # 1 KILLER in Western Civilization is OVEREATING … coupled with eating the wrong foods for your body type … in the wrong combinations … in the wrong proportions … at the wrong time of day … in the wrong season … with the wrong attitude.
We’d love not to have to write another word on the subject, except that we just got a LOT of peoples’ attention, didn’t we?! (Source)
Malaysia is a western wanna-be civilization with eastern mentality but has the highest obesity rate in Southeast Asia and ranks sixth in Asia-Pacific region, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
Deputy Health Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin said: "We view this matter seriously because an excessive intake of sugar could lead to various complications including diabetes."
She was replying to a supplementary question from Dr Tan Seng Giaw (DAP-Kepong).
According to a Bernama report, Rosnah said the daily sugar intake among Malaysians was too high, at 51g, which was above the World Health Organisation recommendation, at 50g.
Of the 1,266 food samples analysed in 2009, 92 samples or 7.3 per cent were found to have too much sugar.
Last year, 2,004 samples were analysed of which 108 samples or 5.4 per cent were found to have an excessive amount of sugar, the report said. (Source)
