Who would have thought that we would arrive at a time where the future of the nation would like on the hands of an obese or healthy politician? In the last several years, studies have shown that a politician’s weight has become a big factor to whether or not the public will vote for him or not again.

Can you recall Mike Huckabee? The one politician who had to lose 120 pounds to be able to be reelected? He mentioned it quite a bit during his campaign; and true enough, I sometimes think there’s also logic behind there. I think what the public is trying to impart is that they don’t…

They have a point, you know. It’s not the companies’ fault that Americans can’t seem to stop themselves from pouring sugars on their coffee cups. The Sugar Association Inc. is now saying that Americans should not blame them for the rising number of obesity in the country, and instead should use high-fructose corn syrup.

A representative from the association, Andrew Briscoe, said that it is not actually sugar that is at fault at the rising obesity number. He said that the link between sugar and obesity is “exaggerated,” furthered by the beverage industry that all uses HFCS. He added that only five percent of all sugar deliveries are sent to US…

We always think that eating only fruits and vegetables will help us combat numerous illnesses and diseases. Well, these two—fruits and vegetables—don’t have that much nutritious benefits as what we usually thought.

A study of 478,000 participants found that for every two servings of fruits and vegetables eaten a day, only a paltry three percent were able to decrease chances of cancer. Researchers also said that aside from only eating fruits and vegetables, there are other factors that contributed to the three-percent decrease in cancer risk—those are exercise, lower smoking rates and less red meat consumption.
