Why Our Children Are Becoming Obese.

The documentary Killer at Large investigates the topic of obesity, a problem of truly epic proportions where misinformation is a major driver of its skyward trend.

Conventional diet and health recommendations are grossly flawed. Obesity and related health problems are directly attributable to improper diet—a diet too high in carbs and poor-quality proteins, and too low in healthy fats.

Calorie counting has been firmly debunked by science. It is FAR more important to look at the source of the calories than counting them. You get fat because you eat the wrong kind of calories.

First and foremost, a healthy diet is based on fresh whole, preferably organic foods, and foods that have been minimally processed.

Fluoride and Your Childrens Health

Fluoride is a toxic substance that is biologically active in the human body where it accumulates in sensitive tissues over time, wreaks havoc with enzymes and produces a number of serious adverse health effects —including neurological and endocrine dysfunction.

The film, Fluoridegate, places particular focus on how water fluoridation harms young children, as they tend to suffer the greatest health effects.

25 human studies have linked fluoride with lowered IQ in children, including recent research from Harvard, and 100 animal studies linking it to brain damage.

Water fluoridation came about as the result of a massively successful PR campaign, and was reportedly first suggested as a way to protect aluminum and steel producers from lawsuits against the fluorine pollution coming from their plant.
