Factory Farms Making Us Sick!

Link Between Factory Farms and Why People are so Sick


By Laura Sayre Mother Earth News, February/March 2009
Straight to the Source



You may be familiar with many of the problems associated with concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs. These "factory farm" operations are often criticized for the smell and water pollution caused by all that concentrated manure; the unnatural, grain-heavy diets the animals consume; and the stressful, unhealthy conditions in which the animals live. You may not be aware, however, of the threat such facilities hold for you and your family's health - even if you never buy any of the meat produced in this manner.


Factory farms are breeding grounds for virulent disease, which can then spread to the wider community via many routes - not just in food, but also in water, the air, and the bodies of farmers, farm workers and their families. Once those microbes become widespread in the environment, it's very difficult to get rid of them.

A 2008 report from the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production, a joint project of the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, underscores those risks. The 111-page report, two years in the making, outlines the public health, environmental, animal welfare and rural livelihood consequences of what they call "industrial farm animal production."

Its conclusions couldn't be clearer. Factory farm production is intensifying worldwide, and rates of new infectious diseases are rising. Of particular concern is the rapid rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes, an inevitable consequence of the widespread use of antibiotics as feed additives in industrial livestock operations.

Scientists, medical personnel and public health officials have been sounding the alarm on these issues for some time.

The World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have recommended restrictions on agricultural uses of antibiotics; the American Public Health Association (APHA) proposed a moratorium on CAFOs back in 2003. All told, more than 350 professional organizations - including the APHA, American Medical Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Academy of Pediatrics - have called for greater regulation of antibiotic use in livestock. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has declared antibiotic-resistant infections an epidemic in the United States.
The FAO recently warned that global industrial meat production poses a serious threat to human health.

The situation is akin to that surrounding global climate change four or five years ago: near-universal scientific consensus matched by government inaction and media inattention. Although the specter of pandemic flu - in which a virulent strain of the influenza virus recombines with a highly contagious strain to create a bug rivaling that responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic, thought to have killed as many as 50 million people - is the most dire scenario, antibiotic resistance is a clear and present danger, already killing thousands of people in the United States each year.

People, Animals and MicrobesFrom one perspective, picking up bugs from our domesticated animals is nothing new. Approximately two-thirds of the 1,400 known human pathogens are thought to have originated in animals: Scientists think tuberculosis and the common cold probably came to us from cattle; pertussis from pigs or sheep; leprosy from water buffalo; influenza from ducks.Most of these ailments probably appeared relatively early in the 10,000-year-old history of animal domestication. Over time, some human populations developed immunity to these diseases; others were eventually controlled with vaccines.Some continued to kill humans until the mid-20th century discovery of penicillin, a miracle drug that rendered formerly life-threatening infections relatively harmless. Other antibiotics followed, until by the 1960s leading researchers and public health officials were declaring that the war on infectious diseases had been won.

Beginning in the mid 1970s, however, the numbers of deaths from infectious diseases in the United States started to go back up. Some were from old nemeses, such as tuberculosis, newly resistant to standard antibiotic treatments; others were wholly novel.

"In recent decades," writes Dr. Michael Greger, director of public health and animal agriculture for the Humane Society of the United States and author of Bird Flu: A Virus of Our Own Hatching, "previously unknown diseases have surfaced at a pace unheard of in the recorded annals of medicine: more than 30 newly identified human pathogens in 30 years, most of them newly discovered zoonotic viruses." (Zoonotic viruses are those that can be passed from animals to humans.)

Why is this happening? There are many reasons, including the increased pace of international travel and human incursions into wild animals' habitats. But one factor stands out: the rise of industrial farm animal production. "Factory farms represent the most significant change in the lives of animals in 10,000 years," Greger writes. "This is not how animals were supposed to live."Chicken and pig production are particularly bad. In 1965, the total U.S. hog population numbered 53 million, spread over more than 1 million pig farms in the United States - most of them small family operations. Today, we have 65 million hogs on just 65,640 farms nationwide. Many of these "farms" - 2,538, to be exact - have upwards of 5,000 hogs on the premises at any given time. Broiler chicken production rose from 366 million in 1945 to 8,400 million in 2001, most of them in facilities housing tens of thousands of birds.

On a global scale, the situation is even worse. Fifty-five billion chickens are now reared each year worldwide. The global pig inventory is approaching 1 billion, an estimated half of which are raised in confinement. In China and Malaysia, it's not unheard of for hog facilities to house 20,000 or even 50,000 animals.

Gastric Bypass or Low Carb?

I have a friend who has been overweight his whole adult life. He tried every diet plan out there and never lost much weight or kept it off. One year ago he had gastric bypass surgery. He lost 50 pounds and feels sick and tired all the time now.


Jimmy Moore low carb
I know another man, Jimmy Moore who lost 185 pounds in two years with a low carb food plan. This gent is healthier than ever and knows how to control his weight from now on, without packaged diet foods, surgery, pills, potions or shakes. He ate real food.



Dr. Heidi is giving us another short (5 min) video to help us see the real reasons we are overweight, even someone who needs to lose 150 pounds!



http://tinyurl.com/dysfunctionalfatburning



If you know anyone who needs to lose a lot or a little weight and has thought of one of the diet programs where you buy the packaged diet foods or worse they are thinking of bypass surgery, pass Dr. Heidi's video on to them.



I've gone through Dr. Heidi's fat burn program and I still get surprised when I listen to her about why burning fat is so hard. It's not as easy as eating less and moving more. It's not as simple as buying Jenny Craig food for the rest of your life.



We have to find out why OUR body will not burn the fat and fix that.

I try to eat right, keep up with the latest nutrition news and have daily exercise. Still, I couldn't lose the baby belly fat. There were many years I could eat anything and not gain an ounce. After having my son that all changed. I could not get rid of the love handles (pot belly) and it was really embarrassing.

Then I found this... And it worked.... I lost 6 pounds and 2 inches in the first week, all in my belly.... Oh, and it was without any exercise. I even quit smoking, but that's another post...

F.D.A. Finds ‘Natural’ Diet Pills Spiked With Drugs

Just in from the New York Times...

Grady Jackson, a defensive tackle with the Atlanta Falcons, said he used the weight-loss capsules. Kathie Lee Gifford was enthusiastic about them on the “Today” show.

Retailers like GNC and the Vitamin Shoppe sold them, no prescription required.

But the Food and Drug Administration now says those weight-loss capsules, called StarCaps and promoted as natural dietary supplements using papaya, could be hazardous to your health. In violation of the law, the agency has found, the capsules also contained a potent pharmaceutical drug called bumetanide which can have serious side effects. By Kim Klaver

Whole Foods Recalls Peanut Products Feb. 2009

Whole Foods Market Recalls Bulk Items Because they May Contain Peanuts Contaminated with Salmonella

Contact:Whole Foods Market

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --February 5, 2009 – Austin, TX – Whole Foods Market is voluntarily recalling all code dates of the following bulk items because they may contain peanuts that have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella:

Bulk Carob Energee Nuggets (sold by the pound from self-service bulk bins)
Bulk Chunks of Energy (three flavors, sold by the pound from self-service bulk bins)
Bulk Fresh Grind Honey Roasted Peanut Butter (sold by the pound from self-service grinders)
Bulk Honey Roasted Peanuts (sold by the pound from self-service bulk bins)

Any customers who have any of these items at home are encouraged to dispose of these items or return them to one of our stores for a full refund.

This action was taken as a result of the recently expanded recall by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) to include all peanut ingredients produced in their Blakely, Georgia facility, in turn affecting Whole Foods Market supplier for bulk peanuts.

None of the recalled Whole Foods Market products have been directly linked to the salmonella outbreak, and there have been no illnesses reported.Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The four recalled products were sold in Whole Foods Market stores located in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -January 30, 2009- Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. (Atkins) announces that it will voluntarily recall from distribution in Canada two Atkins nutrition bars that contain granulated peanuts sourced from the Blakely, Georgia processing facility of Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). In recent weeks an outbreak of Salmonella related complaints and illnesses in the USA have been linked to peanut butter and peanut paste processed by PCA at its Georgia facility.

No Atkins products distributed in Canada contain peanut butter or peanut paste processed by PCA and were not affected by the recall. However, on January 28, 2009, PCA unexpectedly expanded its voluntary recall to include all peanuts and peanut products processed at its Georgia facility.

Damage One Hour After Drinking Coke....

drink coke
Do you want to be healthy? We all think about getting healthy or staying healthy.

Drinking soda is bad for your health in so many ways; science can't even state all the consequences.

Here's what happens in your body when you assault it with a Coke:

Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don't vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor.

Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat.

Within 40 minutes, caffeine absorption is complete; your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, and your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream.

Around 45 minutes, your body increases dopamine production, which stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain - a physically identical response to that of heroin, by the way.

After 60 minutes, you'll start to have a sugar crash.

Think about what your body is doing for an hour after you drink that next Coke. :)

Here's how Vita-Mix helps:

CARBS - How low can you go?


With 65 percent of the American population overweight or obese, it’s no wonder so many people are seeking the sure-shot solution to shedding excess pounds, stabilizing blood sugar and improving metabolic and cardiac health. But is “low carb living” the solution?

Unfortunately, the longest low-carb study to date followed dieters for only a year, so until the results of larger, more comprehensive studies are released, we just don’t know. What we do know, however, is that cutting carbs can help some people lose weight more quickly than a simple calorie-restricted diet.

The basic theory of low carb living is that restricting carbohydrates halts the production of insulin, the hormone responsible for storing body fat, raising blood pressure and packing on the pounds. But a few words to the wise: Calories do count and all carbs are not created equal.
Carbs: The good, bad and the ugly

Before joining the low-carb camp, here’s a quick look at exactly what carbs are, what they do for your body and why many experts think they are important for your health. Carbohydrates—the sugars, starches and fiber abundant in the plant world-- are the main source of energy for our bodies. Although the low-carb craze has many people believing that all carbohydrates are bad, the “complex” or unrefined carbohydrates found in the fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (and in Vita-Mix meals!) are full of valuable fiber and very beneficial. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that fight disease. That’s all good.

Bad are the “simple” carbs that are practically devoid of fiber and nutrition— foods like—you guessed it—white bread, pasta, baked goods, and candy. These foods get digested quickly, convert into glucose and raise blood sugar levels. The pancreas then produces insulin to help the body process all the glucose and blood sugar drops. When that happens—here’s the ugly part--the brain gets a signal that the body is hungry and we grab whatever’s available to eat to help our body get blood sugar back to normal. Fiber is your Secret Weapon in the War on Unwanted Pounds


It’s the fiber found in the complex carbohydrates that make all the difference! Fiber is why you can—and should—have a delicious and nutritious breakfast of Vita-Mix whole food juice and homemade Vita-Mix whole wheat bread. The complex carbohydrates in whole foods supercharge your brain and contain appetite-suppressing fiber that keeps you satisfied until lunch. You’ll feel great first-thing, experience fewer hunger pangs and be less tempted to overeat later in the day. It’s a win-win-win!


The fiber factor: How much is enough?


The National Academy of Science’s Institute of Medicine—that’s the group that sets national dietary guidelines—recommends eating 25 grams of fiber a day. A high-fiber diet may reduce your risk of diabetes, some gastrointestinal disorders, high cholesterol and coronary disease. They suggest a balance of soluble and insoluble fiber every day. Oats, beans, peas, barley, apple and citrus fruits are great sources of soluble fiber which helps keep cholesterol levels healthy.


The best sources of insoluble fiber are whole wheat flour, whole grain cereals, nuts, most vegetables and fruits with edible seeds such as strawberries. Insoluble fiber keeps your digestive tract intact.
