Obesity Is NOT A Fat Problem!

Most adults in the U.S. will be overweight or obese
by 2030, with related health care spending projected
to be as much as $956.9 billion, according to researchers
at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health,
the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality and
the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Their
results are published in the July 2008 online issue of
Obesity.

"National survey data show that the prevalence of
overweight and obese adults in the U.S. has increased
steadily over the past three decades," said
Youfa Wang, MD, PhD, lead author of the study and
associate professor with the Bloomberg School's
Center for Human Nutrition. "If these trends continue,
more than 86 percent of adults will be overweight
or obese by 2030 with approximately 96 percent of
non-Hispanic black women and 91 percent of Mexican-
American men affected. This would result in 1 of
every 6 health care dollars spent in total direct
health care costs paying for overweight and obesity-
related costs."

The researchers conducted projection analysis based
on data collected over the past three decades from
nationally representative surveys. Their projections
illustrate the potential burden of the U.S. obesity
epidemic if current trends continue.

"Our analysis also shows that over time heavy Americans
become heavier," says May A. Beydoun, a former
postdoctoral research fellow at the Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Current standards define adults with a body mass index
(BMI) between 25 and 29.9 as overweight and adults
with a BMI of 30 or higher as obese. Both the
overweight and obese are at an increased risk for
developing a number of acidic health conditions,
including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, heart
disease and stroke. Researchers estimate that
children and young adults may have a shorter life
expectancy than their parents if the obesity epidemic
is left unaddressed.

The authors warned that obesity has become a public
health crisis in the U.S. Timely, dramatic and
effective development and implementation of corrective
programs and policies are needed to avoid the
otherwise inevitable health and societal consequences
implied by their projections. If current trends
continue, the researchers say that the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services will not meet its Healthy
People 2010 initiative to increase the proportion of
adults who are at a healthy weight and to reduce the
proportion of adults who are obese.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Living Center, in Valley Center,
California, "obesity is not a fat problem it is
an acid problem. America is not over-weight - America
is over-acid. Acidity is a toxic waste product of
diet, emotions, and metabolism. The body retains
fat to park excess metabolic or dietary acids that are
not being properly eliminated through urination,
perspiration, defecation and/or respiration away from
organs that sustain life. We need to understand that
fat is protective and acid is destructive. When one
gets off an acidic diet and lifestyle the body gives
up the excess fat. There is no need for the body
to hold on to excess fat to park excess acid. You
lose weight quickly and naturally."

The quickest and healthiest way to achieve your
healthy ideal weight is described in Dr. Robert
and Shelley Young's latest book, The pH Miracle
for Weight Loss. Chapter 11 outlines the entire
protocol.
