The rates of obesity and diet-related diseases are skyrocketing. These illnesses – which were once incorrectly associated with age – are even affecting younger people. Take a moment to consider the following statistics:
- A hundred years ago diabetes affected less than 0.01% of the U.S. population. Today, nearly
57 million Americans are Pre-Diabetic and over 23 million are diabetic (almost half the US `
adult population). And new cases have increased 90% in the last 10 years! - In 1930 about 3,000 people in the U.S. died of heart disease. By 2005 heart attack and stroke killed 795,670 people. While our population grew 144%, the number of deaths due to heart disease rose 26,422%
- A hundred years ago, cancer was responsible for only 3% of all deaths. Today, cancer is responsible for more than 20% of deaths in the U.S.
But these numbers are more than just statistics on a page…
Do you know someone who has had cancer or died of a heart attack or has been debilitated by stroke? Have you witnessed Alzheimer’s steal the mind and memories of a loved one?
It could even happen to you. But listen very closely…
