The Kids Are Not Alright

 

“More than 40% of school-aged children and adolescents have at least one chronic health condition.”

The current state

It is a fact that children are getting sicker and sicker. According to the 2021 data from CDC, “[i]n the United States, more than 40% of school-aged children and adolescents have at least one chronic health condition, such as asthma, obesity, other physical conditions, and behavior/learning problems”[1] and the situation has not got better since. Canadian Statistics say that “the number of obese children is growing at an alarming rate. Approximately a third of Canadian children and young people up to 17 years of age are overweight or obese.”[2] Another problem is comorbidity, which is “the co-occurrence of two or more disorders, and it’s very common among individuals diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). According to a 2019 study, 60 to 90 percent of children with ADHD have at least one comorbid disorder, which may have lifelong effects.”[3]

Diet and hormones

Based on CDC’s data, “[t]ype 2 diabetes is a rising threat to youth. Prediabetes is a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. (…) 1 in 5 aged 12–18 years and 1 in 4 aged 19–34 years has prediabetes.”[4] Unfortunately, the guidelines from health organizations does not provide the best recommendations when it comes to added sugar intake and allow about double the amount what other researches say.[5]

The problem goes beyond diabetes, too. It is now understood that diet plays a significant role in disease development, with poor dietary choices linked to an increased risk of cancer. According to research, diet and metabolism can impact cancer risk so e.g. diets high in processed meats, saturated fats, refined sugars and harmful seed and vegetable oils have been associated with a higher likelihood of developing cancers such as colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer. Maintaining a healthy weight through proper diet and regular exercise is essential, as obesity is a significant risk factor for many types of cancer.

When it comes to children, it is even more crucial to pay attention to healthy diet and lifestyle, since they are developing and their bodies are being built from what they consume.

We know that sugar stimulates insulin (and chronic sugar ingestion keeps this going on and on) which promotes the genetic upregulation of the desaturase enzymes that convert linoleic acid (present in vegetable oils, think fried foods or potato chips) which is too highly abundant in the American diet, to arachidonic acid (AA). Arachidonic acid is the parent compound of the exquisitely potent pro-inflammatory molecules called 2- and 4-series eicosanoids. These AA-derived eicosanoids are the most fundamental drivers of all things inflammation in the body. Arachidonic acid is cleaved from the lipid membrane for metabolism to eicosanoids by the enzyme phospholipase A2 (PLA2). A main end-product of this cascade of events is prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). PGE2 promotes genetic upregulation of aromatase (CYP19), the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen.

According to Dr. Kara Fitzgerald[6], clinicians treating the “Low T” hypogonadal epidemic need to take a full system’s approach, which means that endocrine disruption happens from all sides. Diet is our greatest leverage point in virtually all disease, but stress will increase testosterone’s conversion to estrogen and reduce total sex hormone availability. Also remember: glucocorticoids are diabetogenic. Toxins, especially plastics and all of the “cides” (pesticides, herbicides, insecticides) are xenoestrogens. Think about the sexually ambiguous salmon swimming in polluted waters or pesticides that are sprayed on conventionally grown (non-organic) vegetables, which act as estrogens once ingested.

Dr. Fitzgerald is not the only one thinking that food is feminizing men. According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, noted neurosurgeon and author of The Blaylock Report: “Studies show that xenoestrogens from plastics appear to cause premature menses in young girls. Soy isoflavones appear to increase aggressiveness and heighten antisocial behavior in monkeys and appear to feminize male animals.”[7] Unsaturated fats from vegetable oils come mostly from soy, which is one of the most estrogenic plants. It is usually covered in pesticides, which come with their own estrogenic properties. Only 5 percent of the world’s soy isoflavones is non-genetically modified, the soy isoflavones used by Life Choice is third party certified non-GMO, supplying genistein, daidzein and glycitein, and before it is used we test once again to be absolutely sure.

It is critical to maintain hormone balance throughout life, and more so as we age, especially when we consider the daily bombardment of hormone disruptors weakening our microbiome from our food, water, and airborne environmental toxins. Our endocrine system needs to be brought in balance: growth hormone through our pituitary gland, thyroid balance with maintaining thyroid gland and adrenal gland support and sex hormones by supporting and maintaining testosterone and estrogen balance.

Life Choice products helpful in supporting hormonal balance:

Vaccination

Not just plastics have an impact on menstrual cycles. “The COVID-19 booster was linked to shorter menstrual cycles in adolescent girls in the 4 months following administration, particularly when teens were in their follicular phase.”[8] The follicular phase refers to that part of your menstrual cycle when an egg matures in your ovaries. The end of your follicular phase is a predominantly fertile period, when your odds of getting pregnant increase if you have sex. It is part of an ongoing process in your body during your reproductive years when hormones activate changes in your body that make it possible for you to become pregnant. During the same period, there are concurrent changes in the endometrium, which is why the follicular phase is also known as the proliferative phase. This study is stating that the menstrual cycle is shortened by 5.35 days—this is the exact time needed to be fertile. This information must be shared with teens wanting to have children later in life; if they continue taking the jabs and boosters, they may become infertile or sterile for life.

Vaccines cause a general concern when it comes to children’s health. For example, from the first day of life children are vaccinated for Hepatitis B[9], when in fact, sexual contact is the most common way Hepatitis B is spread in the United States. Hepatitis B is 50-100 times more infectious than HIV. Does a baby need to be taking Hepatitis B to prevent them from getting a sexually transmitted disease?

The virus of fear is the most deadly; it becomes more virulent when spread by ignorance and fueled by the mass media. The only known cure is enlightenment strengthened through association of those with like-mindedness and noncompliance. This treatment quickly reduces the viral spread and weakens the sicknesses’ grip on society, becoming the only known pathway for the return to normal.

[5] The American Heart Association (AHA), recommended that children aged 2 to 18 should consume no more than 25 grams (about 6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day. CDC is even more generous, they claim that “[p]eople 2 and older should keep added sugars to less than 10% of their total daily calories. For example, if an adult consumes 2,000 calories a day, no more than 200 calories should come from added sugars. Twelve teaspoons of sugar is about 200 calories.” (CDC. 2023. Be Smart About Sugar)
