Similar questions: diseases caused nutritional deficiencies statement.

My opinion... First, I would look at who is making this claim. Check out quackwatch.org" rel="nofollow">quackwatch.org for more information about the lawsuit and its settlement. Then, I would think about the word "all."

It doesn't seem probably, in my opinion, that all disease comes from a nutritional deficiency. For example, certain types of infection are caused by bacteria. If I don't eat well, I may make myself less able to fight that infection, but a nutritional deficiency did not cause: My exposure to the bacteria or, the actual infection that I may get Same thing with a virus, say measles.

I wouldn't not get measles because I had a good diet. I would potentially get measles because I was exposed to the virus that causes measles and, possibly, because I had not been vaccinated against that virus. Just my 2 cents.

We can't say ALL...because... Some diseases like Cystic Fibrosis are from a genetic mix....two parents having a dormant gene that is only activated when the two create a child, and not even every child they create. Diseases, other than genetic, can certainly be caused by deficiencies in nutrition. Lack of vitamin C in the diet causes rickets, a bowing of the legs of children... Lack of vitamin A in the diet can cause eye problems... What is cancer?

Basicly ’rot’. Good cells gone bad and reproducing, causing a part of the body to rot. Could poor nutrition, grease and garbage in the body cause colon cancer?Possibly.

What is arthritis? Stiffening of joints and cartilage damage and deterioration. Introducing fish oils, MSM, glucosamine and chondroiton into the diet, either through foods or supplements can prevent, relieve and actually cure arthritis.

A person eating a healthy mix of foods, in reasonable portions, getting some moderate exercise, proper sleep...will keep their body in top condition...allowing it to be able to fight off disease. Eating properly, getting great nutrition doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. Eating baked, broiled or BBQ’d pork, chicken, fish...yams, baked potatoe, rice, beans, whole grains...fresh or frozen veggies...low fat dairy products...fresh tossed salads... Some foods are antioxidents...removing poisons from the body.

Proper fiber intake will keep the colon clean and working properly. Proof, to me, would be to take a look at the condition of people living in impoverished countries...they are riddled with disease, disabilities, malnutrition, abnormalities, parasites... Proof can also be observed in the obese, eating greasy fast food, lots of sugary snacks and drinks...resulting in diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, high cholesterol...and, yes, cancer. And further proof, when an obese person eats right, loses the weight...and soon gets off the medications for all the diseases that the poor diet had produced.

The very best guide to good, sensible nutrition can be found in the Heart Smart diet. The American Heart Association has all the information to healthy nutrition on their website www.americanheart.org It’s not rocket science, eat well, live long, live healthy...and prevent disease.

I know celiac which wrecks the intestines causes million of Americans to have many diseases. It deprives you of... nutrients since you can not digest things properly or absorb them into the intestines with celiac. Once you are low in nutrients you body gets the next genetic weakness you have.

I got MS, my mom got lupus, my sister fibromyalgia, my grandmother cancer etc. They all started with celiac.

I don't think diseases are caused by nutritional deficiencies but... I do think nutritional deficiencies may weaken our resistances to them.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
