Problem of Obesity is Top Health Threat in U.S.

Obesity Is Top Health Threat in U.S., CDC Says By Maggie Fox, Reuters WASHINGTON (Oct. 28) – Obesity is the No. 1 health threat in the United States today, the head of the leading U.S. federal health agency said on Tuesday. While much of her time is spent preparing to fight anthrax, smallpox, and biological threats, and diseases like SARS and West Nile virus, Centers for Disease, Control and Prevention Director Dr. Julie Gerberding, said Americans are much more likely to die from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes caused by smoking, eating too much and exercising too little. ”Unfortunately, poor diet and a lack of exercise have almost caught up with tobacco as being the leading cause of death in the United States,” Gerberding told a meeting of the National Health Council, which groups companies and non-profit health advocacy organizations. She cited statistics that show 65 percent of U.S. adults are either overweight or obese. In 2000, 38.8 million American adults were classified as obese, meaning their health is seriously at risk. ”In three states, 25 percent of adults are obese — not overweight but obese,” Gerberding said. The three states are Louisiana, Mississippi and West Virginia. ”It is a catastrophe in our country.” She showed a graph of the leading causes of death in the United States. Heart disease is first, followed by cancer, stroke, lung disease and accidents. Obesity is a leading cause of the first three and, she said, bioterrorism is nowhere to be seen among the top 10 causes of death. The government is working and will do more to encourage better eating and exercise habits, said Gerberding. ”We really have to change our behavior in astonishing ways if we are going to get over this bottleneck to good health,” she said. At CDC, Gerberding has said one of her first acts as director was to open stairwells. Putting in carpeting, music and allowing employees to hang children’s art has made it more appealing to use them, she said ”along with turning off some of the elevators.” 10/28/03 17:33 ET Copyright 2003 Reuters Limited.

Calorad’s® Ingredients

Clinically Tested Calorad®, Clinical Study done in 2009 by Rena Davis, Chemical Nutritionist

“Rena Davis’ Clinical Study
300 patients, 1 year study
Study done in 2009

” I have probably used the product longer than any other person on the planet. In addition, I had the good fortune of monitoring more than 300 patients over a one-year period on the use of Calorad. I monitored people who ranged in age from 17-years up to 77 years of age with a variety of backgrounds and health histories. They included people with high blood pressure, arthritis and many other conditions.”*

“Over that one-year period, we each averaged a “weight loss”* of four pounds of fat per month. I want to stress that we did a lot of testing. We did hydrostatic weighing so that we would know exactly how much reduction was happening in adipose tissue and how much was actually conversion of lean muscle mass. Our results were extraordinary.”*

“I want to point out that our people were not placed on a caloric restrictive diet. They were recommended to maintain a good balance between fats, carbohydrates and proteins, to be sensible with their diets and to reduce sugars. We did not require that they exercise. So the resulting average loss of 3.75-6.00 pounds per month for over 300 people is a pretty phenomenal statistic.”* *Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.

“We also found that in the entire group, less than 0.6, or less than 1 per cent, had any loss of lean muscle mass. And 36 per cent of the group actually gained lean muscle mass during that time.”* *Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.

“What got people really excited was the fact that we lost as much in inches per pound as we dropped in poundage. In other words, for every single pound that was dropped from the body, we saw 3.75 inches lost from the body, and that was pure fat lost without caloric restrictions.”* *Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.

“Another thing I liked about the product was that we all tightened up. We all got firmer, and looked younger. Calorad is truly an amazing product. For you guys out there who have handle bars on the side, most of you will find that in a month or two they’ll be gone. And for us gals, we enjoyed some wonderful things like losing the jowls under the chin and the flab under the arms, and the skin of the thighs tightened up nicely. So we all thought that the product was pretty dynamic.”* *Disclaimer: Individual results may vary.

“Calorad is very reliable and very safe. The only side-effects from the product that we ever found were positive. Something that I didn’t mention and that is very significant in the high-stress environment that we all live in today is that, without exception, there is an attitude change. Every user experienced a much greater sense of well-being which occurred within the first couple of weeks.”*

“That’s a marvelous health point for everyone because if you feel better, then you are inclined to perform better in your life. In the original study, we saw a number of people begin to exercise, not because they were required to, but because they felt better.”*

“I don’t know what the magic is in the Calorad chemistry. I’m not sure anyone does, but I do feel that some of it revolves around the quality of the human being who developed the formula. And that very special energy is Michel Grisé, which I believe is translated into the product. We’ve learned in science that there is energy coefficient involved. Michel Grisé is a very high energy human being and I believe that who he is affects the efficacy of the product.” “*
