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.</p><p>In order to ready our workers, there are three major issues that need to be addressed:</p><p><strong>1) Most American Are Too Sick to Compete in the World Market</strong></p><p>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.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br><b><font size="1" face="Verdana">|<a href="http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2011nl/sep/jobs1.htm">MORE</a>|<span class="Apple-converted-space"> <a href="http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2011nl/sep/jobs1.htm">http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2011nl/sep/jobs1.htm</a></span></font></b><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div bgcolor="#f3f6e3"><div align="left"></div></div></span></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div bgcolor="#f3f6e3"><div align="left"></div></div></span></blockquote><br><br><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold; ">Bob's Red Mill Founders and the Institute of Nutrition and Wellness at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)</span></p><p><strong>OHSU is the institution that conducts the McDougall Research and Education Foundation-funded study on Diet and Multiple Sclerosis</strong></p><p>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.
