Obese Kids at Risk for Early Death

How many more reports re: nutritional child abuse do we need to finally act?

Children with obesity, glucose intolerance, or high blood pressure may be at risk of premature death, according to a longitudinal study of Native Americans.
Youngsters from two Arizona tribes who had the highest body mass index (BMI) were more than twice as likely as those with the lowest BMI to die prematurely from endogenous causes, and those with the worst glucose intolerance had a 73% higher risk of death than those with the best control, Paul W. Franks, PhD, now of Umeå Universitet in Umeå, Sweden, and colleagues reported in the Feb. 11 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Sadly, I suspect many, many more.

And even then, the powers that be will be unwilling.

Help save the kids from the abuse.
