Obesity: Government's are now tackling excessive weight gain in their populations and are targeting sugary drinks. France is bringing in measures to ration mayonnaise and tomato ketchup in schools.

New laws come days after announcement that tomato ketchup and mayonnaise will be rationed in schools.

20 million French people are overweight, survey says.

France is to impose a 'fat tax' on sugary soft drinks in a bid to combat soaring child obesity.
The new tax will add just over 1p to a can of fizzy drink like Coca-Cola or Fanta but zero-calorie 'diet' drinks will be exempt from the charges, the government said.

“If it be misconduct to use methods and techniques that are unknown to, or disapproved of, by the vast majority in the [medical] profession, the profession might never progress.”

For more than 50 years microbiologists have warned against using antibiotics to fatten up farm animals. The practice, they argue, threatens human health by turning farms into breeding grounds of drug-resistant bacteria. Farmers responded that restricting antibiotics in livestock would devastate the industry and significantly raise costs to consumers. We now have empirical data that should resolve this debate. Since 1995 Denmark has enforced progressively tighter rules on the use of antibiotics in the raising of pigs, poultry and other livestock. In the process, it has shown that it is possible to protect human health without hurting farmers.

During the past Federal election here in Canada not one political party had the courage to bring up the subject of rising health costs, never mind offering a solution to this impending problem. Our population continues to age and it will obviously increase the demand on health care. In the US according to the latest statistics 16% of GDP is being spent on healthcare. We are not far behind in Canada at 11.7% of GDP with our government “rationed” healthcare.

A Health Care Crisis is Coming

Raspberry (and most berries) is very good in treating oral cancer. Drink raspberry juice for three months. However, it should be kept in mind that; the quantity of the juice should not exceed more than a cup. Three months would suffice to resolve the symptoms of oral carcinoma. The powdered form of raspberry leaves (1tsp) should be boiled and taken for 6 months to resolve the symptoms of oral cancer.
