[All] Fwd: The McDougall Newsletter

[Robert Milligan]

FYI -- in these critical times Environmentalists especially have to be  
as productive as possible!  I suggest that we all have to upgrade to a  
"Lulu" level of productivity -- which at least requires us to both  
improve & maintain our Health.

> Diet Is Destroying Workers’ Competitiveness
>
> At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, the  
> number one concern for Americans is jobs, and the primary topic for  
> politicians is job creation. I have yet to hear anyone speak about  
> improving the health of our workforce, a fundamental step to solving  
> the problems with our economy and unemployment.
>
> In order to ready our workers, there are three major issues that  
> need to be addressed:
>
> 1) Most American Are Too Sick to Compete in the World Market
>
> National statistics are damning, with two-thirds of adults  
> overweight and one-third obese. Based on pharmaceutical company- 
> sponsored TV commercials, we know that cholesterol, erectile  
> dysfunction, GERD, diabetes, and arthritis are rampant among our  
> workforce. Employees spend valuable work hours worrying about and  
> dealing with their minor and major health issue, from constipation  
> to cancers. Most employees feel so poorly on a day-to-day basis that  
> they dread starting their workday. The byproducts of poor health in  
> the workplace include reduced productivity and intellectual  
> capacity, as well as increased absenteeism. Sick employees  
> contribute to the failure of businesses, and that means even more  
> unemployment. To keep the doors open, many employers have resorted  
> to exporting jobs to other countries.

> at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)
>
> OHSU is the institution that conducts the McDougall Research and  
> Education Foundation-funded study on Diet and Multiple Sclerosis
>
> With a $25 million grant, announced on September, 16, 2011, the Bob  
> and Charlee Moore Institute for Nutrition and Wellness was  
> established at OHSU for the purpose of studying the link between  
> food and common health conditions, such as hypertension, heart  
> disease, type-2 diabetes, autism, and obesity. The institute will  
> have five main areas of research: childhood obesity, maternal and  
> fetal medicine, epigenetics (the way nutrition affects genetics),  
> community outreach, and education. This was one of the largest  
> donations ever given to OHSU.
