"In addition to its strong associations with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, pediatric obesity may induce alterations in thyroid function and structure, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).For the calorically irresponsible child-abusing and unfit parents of the world, this must be welcome news.
Thyroid hormones drive metabolism, however demonstration of a direct or strong correlation of obesity with deficient thyroid function has been controversial, and previous studies provide conflicting conclusions. While some studies have found that thyroid disorders may lead to obesity, this recent study shows that in some cases, it is the obesity that may cause the disorder.
'Our study shows that alterations in thyroid function and structure are common in obese children and we may have uncovered the link,' said Giorgio Radetti, M.D., of the Regional Hospital of Bolzano in Italy and lead author of the study. 'We found an association between body mass index and thyroid hormone levels which suggests that fat excess may have a role in thyroid tissue modification.'"
First, it gives them another way to accomplish their goals of abusing their children without culpability.
Second, it gives them another way to extract money from the rest of us to "rescue" their children so they can appear less irresponsible and have their abusive activities underwritten by others since, with certainty, payment for treatment will come from the public coffers. (Ain't "health care" reform great?}
Kudos, fatsos.
You have elevated personal irresponsibility and child abuse to gold standards and national policy.
And if you, dear reader, are sick and tired of nutritional child abuse and paying for this crap, making your feelings known should be among your New Year's resolutions.
Make 2009 the year to end nutritional child abuse.
