Nutrition and Disease: The Controversy

There have been many controversies over the use of diet to battle disease, such as diabetes and other disease that affect America’s children. Obesity is one of the largest problems in the United States for children under 18 years of age and along with obesity, type2 diabetes is affecting more children than ever before.

All in all, I suppose it is safe to say that there is a broad range of variance in what some people consider to be a healthy food, I suppose it is really just amatter of degree, however. For example, while some would argue that homemade cookies and gourmet cokkies are better than the store bought varieties of cookies, it is clear that even homemade cookkies with organic ingredients are not as good for your health as, say Himalayan goji juice or acai juice, for example. It is clear that acai or goji juice is a superood whereas the cookies are simply a slight upgrade in a sense.

The debates about nutrition being used to battle diseases like type 2 diabetes is that with each study that is released there is different information leaving America’s parents unsure of what they should do to help their children. These debates even include whether soy products are safe in place of homogenized milk or margarine.

Another thing that has been under debate and is confusing for parents of obese children is the labels on products, this while helpful is still not clear enough for the average consumer according to experts.
