The Most Malnourished Country in the World.

The most malnourished country in the world is the United States.  The number one Cause of Death (COD) in the United States is Heart Disease and the number one cause of Heart Disease (in the United States) is Malnutrition.   Our chronic diseases, which make up 75% or more of our health care dollars, are related to Malnutrition.  Type 2 Diabetes is caused by Malnutrition.  Most Cancers and many Auto-Immune Disorders have a direct connection to our Standard American Diet (SAD).  But Americans have a disconnect with food and health with many stating “I eat healthy”.  The marketing of of meat, dairy, poultry, and fish as ‘healthy food’ is a lie.  Distorting the truth, manipulating the data, confusing the consumer, and even just plain lying is routine for the Food Industries and, yes, our Government too.  The Merriam  Webster dictionary defines  ‘Malnutrition’ as;  faulty nutrition due to inadequate or unbalanced intake of nutrients or their impaired assimilation or utilization. The word Mal means Bad.  We normally refer to Malnutrition as someone not having enough nutrition and normally associate malnutrition with the poor or those who are not able to get the proper nutrition.  However we also must understand that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is the ‘worst diet ever’ because it tricks us into eating Toxic Junk.  The Standard American Diet is the most Malnourished Diet in the world.  It is overloaded with fat, sugar and salt and…. it’s killing us.  The SAD is totally unbalanced and totally inadequate in respect to nutrient value for healthy living; medical research has the proof, the scientific evidence, and the facts.  Sadly Americans eat Toxic Junk 90% of the time with only 10 to 11% of nutritious foods from fruits, vegetables, grains and/or legumes.  And yet, we have the resources that many malnourished countries do not have; what we do have is a total disconnect between food and health.  Here is the connection; here is what science and the TRUTH tells us;  moving to a plant based, whole food diet along with daily exercise, not smoking, and maintaining a normal BMI leads to a healthy person and a healthy population.  Those are the scientific facts; the truth is that America is the most Malnourished country in the world.   Vegan Doc 12/31/18
