Rising risk for obese kids: middle-aged arteries

Kudos, fatsos.

"A glimpse inside the neck arteries of obese children and teens reveals cardiovascular systems more like those of 45-year-olds, researchers said Tuesday.

Scientists using ultrasound imaging detected fatty deposits more typical in middle-aged adults than in children as young as 10, underscoring worries about accelerated risks of heart disease decades earlier than once thought possible."

Another result of nutritional child abuse from calorically irresponsible parents.

Enforce CAPTA against:

the parents,

the docs who see these kids and don't report the abuse and

the teachers who are as complicit in the abuse as the docs.

That would be a good start.

Stop nutritional child abuse.
