,\TIC\LLY REDUCE YOUR RISK (W CANCER, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND OBESITY By any measure, America's health is failing We spend far more, per capita, on health care than any other society in the world, and yet two-thirds of Americans are overweight, and more than 15 million Americans have diabetes We fall prey to heart disease as often as we did thirty years ago The War on Cancer, launched in the 1970s, has been a miserable failure Half of all Americans have a health problem that requires taking a prescription drug every week, and more than 100 million Americans have high cholesterol To make matters worse, we are leading our youth down a path of disease earlier and earlier in their lives One-third of the children in this country are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight Our kids are increasingly falling prey to a form of diabetes that used to be seen only in adults, and children now take more prescription drugs than ever before These issues all come down to three things: breakfast, lunch and dinner The China Study presents a clear and concise message of hope as it dispels a multitude of health myths and misinformation: if you want to be healthy, change your diet ;-=-
