Teens Remain Dangerously Ignorant of Destructive Health Effects of Junk FoodBy Mike Adams, November 27, 2008 | Key concepts: Junk food, Teens and Children's health New research from the UK shows that an astonishing 73% of 8-to-15 year olds were completely unaware that eating junk food could reduce their lifespan.According to the research, 45% thought the worst effects of eating junk food were simply getting fat and becoming unpopular. In other words: Nutritional illiteracy is rampant among teens. Yet amazingly, 56% of the children surveyed in this study predicted they would live to be over 80! I hate to be the one to bring a dose of reality to these kids, but the vast majority of them will likely die before they even reach the age of 55. Why? Because they're consuming diets burdened with toxic chemicals and nutritionally-depleted ingredients that leave them dangerously deficient in nutrients necessary to sustain life. The real failure here, though, isn't the children: It's the corrupt governments and outdated public schools that refuse to teach children the basic facts about nutrition, all while allowing unlimited junk food and soda ads to brainwash kids into believing processed food is hip and cool. Of course, all teens think they're indestructible. More and more of them, though, will soon find out they're quite mortal, and in fact their bodies have been aging at an accelerated rate due to the mass biological poisoning effects of a junk food diet. Not many teens read NaturalNews. I've met a few exceptional teens who are bright enough to understand the big picture on health and nutrition, but even they've told me their friends think they're freaks for daring to question the wisdom of eating MSG-laced snack chips or diet soda poisoned with aspartame and phosphoric acid. It's a shame none of the corporations in modern society care about kids' health. It's quite the opposite, in fact: Big Pharma can't wait for all these kids to be diagnosed with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. It will unleash a new wave of high-profit medication "therapy" for a generation of the malnourished and ignorant. And that doesn't even count all the bi-polar disorders now being diagnosed in children and treated with mind-altering amphetamine drugs. Click to read: |
