1) Consumption of foods containing high fructose corn syrup has contributed to rising obesity rates in the US. Government subsidies encourage overproduction of corn which is used to make low-cost, highly sweetened foods and beverages. 2) High fructose corn syrup does not suppress appetite and leads to overeating and weight gain. It is widely used in processed foods and fast food. 3) Obesity rates began rising sharply in the 1980s following the introduction of high fructose corn syrup and increased availability of cheap, high-calorie fast food. Rates continue to climb in most states.

Whole Grains Nutrional Facts
Whole grains contain antioxidants that rival or exceed those in fruits and vegetables. Research shows that eating whole grains may reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes by lowering triglycerides, improving insulin control, aiding weight management, and slowing arterial plaque buildup. All grains start as whole grains, and keeping all three parts - the bran, germ, and endosperm - qualifies it as a whole grain. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend making at least half of daily grain servings whole grains.
Opinion Piece PowerPoint
The document discusses whether high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) should be banned. It notes that HFCS usage increased over 1000% between 1970 and 1990, exceeding changes in intake of any other food. Today, 55% of all sweeteners are derived from corn, with the average American consuming 132 calories per day from HFCS. HFCS has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. While the corn industry argues it can be consumed in moderation, the document questions what excess consumption may lead to and what true moderation is.
The Food Pyramid
This document discusses the Food Pyramid and provides guidance for teaching children about healthy eating habits. It outlines the major food groups according to the Food Pyramid and provides examples of foods in each group. It encourages discussing the health benefits of foods in each group and having children identify foods they enjoy eating from each group. The document also stresses the importance of eating a variety of healthy foods from the different groups and keeping track of food intake.
Fast food
Fast food originated in the United States in the 1950s and is characterized by low preparation times and packaged food meant for take-out. While fast food has grown popular globally, its high fat, salt, and sugar content poses serious health risks like obesity, liver damage, and heart disease if consumed regularly. Some key disadvantages of fast food include that it often contains over 300 extra calories per meal, addictive ingredients like food dyes are added to appeal to kids, and overconsumption has contributed to rising obesity rates in both children and adults.
Food pyramid
The Food Pyramid outlines 6 food groups and recommends eating more servings from the groups at the bottom and fewer from those at the top. Grains form the base and should provide at least half of daily calories. Fruits and vegetables are next and provide vitamins and fiber while being low in calories. Dairy, meat and alternatives make up the third level and supply protein and nutrients. Fats, oils and sweets sit at the top and should be consumed sparingly due to their high calorie, low nutrient content.
Food groups
We categorize foods into food groups based on how they help our bodies. The five main food groups are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables. Carbohydrates and fats provide energy, proteins help us grow, dairy products are good for bones and teeth, and fruits and vegetables keep us healthy.
The food wheel
The document discusses a food wheel that recommends daily portions of different food groups including cereals, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat. It provides details on the recommended portions for each food group and explains that each group supplies important nutrients. Vegetables are highlighted as being rich in vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Cereals are an important source of energy and supply carbohydrates and fiber. Fruits supply vitamins and fiber, while dairy products supply minerals like calcium. Meat, fish, and eggs are noted as being rich in protein.
Food groups
This document discusses the four main food groups: fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish, and pulses and cereals. It provides examples of foods that fall into each category, such as apples, bananas, carrots, and tomatoes for fruits and vegetables; milk and cheese for dairy; meat and fish; and bread, biscuits, and beans for pulses and cereals. Each food group is described as being good for health.

Food and health - obesity in the developing world
More people in developing countries are now overweight than underweight due to globalization bringing an unhealthy Western diet high in processed foods, sugar, and fat. Developing countries are also seeing more sedentary lifestyles as jobs become less physical and screen time increases. No country has successfully reduced obesity, and it is a growing health threat. 50% of adults in Mexico, Egypt, and South Africa are overweight or obese due to factors like proximity to the US, rural to urban migration, and diets shifting to inexpensive, calorie-dense processed foods. Governments must restrict unhealthy foods, subsidize fruits and vegetables, tax sugary drinks, and ban food ads to children to curb obesity and its related medical costs.

Fast Food & Obesity: an Inside Look into the Heaviest Nation
This document summarizes the rise of fast food in America and its contribution to obesity rates. It discusses how fast food became popular due to its convenience and low cost. Fast food consumption has doubled since the 1970s and now accounts for 11% of daily calories for many Americans. This rise in fast food intake has coincided with a doubling of obesity rates, from 15% to 35% of American adults now obese. The document argues that fast food meals typically contain over 1,000 calories and high amounts of salt and fat, exceeding daily recommended limits and contributing to health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Notes on food resources
Economic development and income levels impact food consumption patterns between developed countries (DCs) and less developed countries (LDCs) in several ways:
1) As income rises, diets shift away from staple crops like cereals toward more meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables. DCs consume more calories and protein per person compared to LDCs.
2) Physical, economic, social and technological factors affect food production intensity. DCs have greater access to technology and financing to intensify agriculture, while fragmented land ownership in LDCs lowers productivity.
3) Inadequate or excessive food consumption impacts health, productivity and economic growth. Malnutrition hinders development in LDCs, while obesity reduces health
Chancha bsn
This document discusses why many obese people in the US experience hunger. It suggests that high fructose corn syrup added to many processed foods, coupled with government subsidies that encourage fat and sugar production over nutritious foods, contribute to the problem. With poverty levels rising and access to affordable healthy options limited, many can only afford high calorie junk foods. As a result, health problems are increasing while healthcare costs rise, straining the US economy. Solutions proposed include regulations on school/grocery store foods, taxes on unhealthy items, and limiting food stamps to nutritious purchases to improve diets and productivity.

ThesisPresentation
The document discusses how USDA policies and programs reinforce health disparities among racial minorities. It outlines how the USDA establishes nutrition guidelines but must also advocate for food industries like dairy. Dairy and corn subsidies have increased the availability of high-fat, high-sugar foods. This has contributed to higher rates of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes among non-white groups. Federal food assistance programs have also distributed dairy surpluses. Changes are needed to align USDA policies with public health and shift subsidies toward healthier foods.
Change Food Policy, Change the World
Glennah Trochet, MD, public health policy expert, spoke on how food policy influences our eating habits and choices and how we can improve our nutrition by changing food policy. Presented on Friday, September 26 at Grace Presbyterian Church's 2014 Farm to EVERY Fork event "Change Food Policy, Change the World!" in Sacramento, CA
Gateway 1 food consumption patterns
Gateway 1 examined how and why food consumption patterns have changed since the 1960s between developed and less developed countries. Key points discussed include:
- Developed countries on average consume more calories, meat, dairy and eggs than less developed countries. However, less developed countries have seen faster growth in calorie consumption over time.
- Changing consumption is driven by increasing incomes allowing people to purchase more and varied food items. Population growth has also increased global food demand.
- Socio-cultural factors like preferences for fast and organic foods and economic issues like income levels and food pricing affect what people consume. Political stability of food supply and food safety standards also impact diets.
- Inadequate food intake

Obesity A Scientific Update
- 60% of Americans are overweight or obese, and obesity rates have been increasing over time according to surveys from 1986 to 2007.
- Treating obesity costs over $1,000 more per year than treating someone who is a healthy weight. The costs of obesity-related healthcare have increased tenfold since 1987.
- Visceral fat around the middle poses greater health risks than fat in other areas, increasing the risks of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Waist-to-hip ratio is a better indicator of health risks than BMI alone.
- Factors that influence food cravings and overeating include genes, learned behaviors, social and environmental cues, sleep deprivation, and food addiction in the brain.
Fast food
Fast food is convenient but often lacks nutrition and can negatively impact health. A typical fast food meal is high in fat, calories, sugar, and sodium which can lead to weight gain, obesity, cardiovascular problems, and other health issues when consumed regularly. While fast food provides convenience and affordable options, eating it frequently as part of an overall unhealthy diet poses serious risks. Maintaining a balanced diet with occasional fast food is less risky than regular fast food consumption.

This document provides information about life after bariatric surgery. It begins by outlining the benefits patients can expect, such as rapid weight loss, improved health, and learning healthy dietary changes. It then discusses America's obesity epidemic and related health problems like diabetes. The causes of obesity are explored, such as unhealthy eating habits, excessive weight, lack of exercise, and changes in diet over time with increased sugar and refined grain consumption. Bariatric surgery, especially gastric bypass, is presented as an effective treatment for weight loss and diabetes reversal. Post-surgery, patients must focus on nutritional deficiencies, establishing healthy eating patterns, adequate protein intake, and exercise to successfully maintain weight loss long-term.
Malaysian Urban Nutrition
The document discusses urban nutrition in Malaysia. It notes that industrialization and urbanization have led to changes in Malaysian lifestyles, diets, and increased levels of sedentary behavior. This is associated with rising rates of chronic diseases. Obesity levels are higher in urban versus rural areas for both males and females. Factors influencing unhealthy trends include changes in food supply and consumption patterns, as well as eating out more frequently. The government has implemented various policies, programs and guidelines to address nutritional issues like obesity and anemia.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
