Malnutrition And Gynaepathology The Nutritional Assault on Womens Health -by John- I n the westernised populations pregnancy and childbirth are often treated like illnesses that require hospitalisation. Women regard menstrual bleeding and various associated suffering to be "normal". In fact there is nothing normal or natural about "womens problems", most of which are a result of malnutrition. In this radical approach to womens health I shall outline the concept of the Natural Woman which will challenge some commonly held but irrational beliefs. The objective here is not to supply dietary advice but rather educate and stimulate discussion. In Food Processing and Malnutrition I used some of the information from Dr. Weston A. Prices book Nutrition And Physical Degeneration to show the effects that modern diets have had on humans and I finished with the following quote: "... low-fat, plant-rich diets retard the onset of menstruation and decrease circulating hormone levels. Fat and animal protein have each been shown to increase female hormone levels, while dietary fiber decreases these levels." News of the Cornell-China Project T. Colin Campbell Ph.D. (op. cit.)

Food Processing and Malnutrition The Economic Destruction of The Food Chain -by John- F rom 1811 to 1816 groups of English artisans known as Luddites rallied against the machinery of the industrial revolution. The advent of intensive mechanisation brought not only the end of skilled craft labour, but ultimately set in motion the widespread malnutrition of the westernised worlds. In 1898 the first edition of Peter Kropotkin's Fields, Factories And Workshops Tomorrow was published. In it he says: "The necessary machinery was created, and the British production of manufactured goods went on at a gigantic pace. In the course of less than seventy years- from 1810 to 1878- the output of coal grew from 10 to 133,000,000 tons; the imports of raw materials rose from 30 to 380,000,000 tons; and the exports of manufactured goods from 46 to 200,000,000 pounds. The tonnage of the commercial fleet was nearly trebled. Fifteen thousand miles of railways were build." The problem of food preservation was solved mainly by either denaturing (changing or removing any of the natural constituents of food by processing techniques) foods so much that they no longer supported bacterial or fungal life, or by canning or embalming the foods in poisons. Later improvements on these techniques means that there are some foods in modern society that simply will not decompose, thus demonstrating their unsuitability to support life. All of this was missed in an era where people were keen to reap the benefits of technology and understood very little, if anything, about nutrition. So long as enough food was eaten for men and women to work the factories, all was well.

Home UNICEF in Action Highlights Information Resources ... About UNICEF Panel 2 What is Malnutrition? Photo: Three sisters at a health centre in Haiti. Malnutrition is usually the result of a combination of inadequate dietary intake and infection (Fig. 6). In children, malnutrition is synonymous with growth failure - malnourished children are shorter and lighter than they should be for their age. To get a measure of malnutrition in a population, young children can be weighed and measured and the results compared to those of a 'reference population' known to have grown well. Meas uring weight and height is the most common way of assessing malnutrition in populations. Although many people still refer to growth failure as 'protein-energy malnutrition,' or PEM, it is now recognized that poor growth in children results not only from a deficiency of protein and energy but also from an inadequate intake of vital minerals (such as iron, zinc and iodine) and vitamins (such as vitamin A), and often essential fatty acids as well. These minerals are needed in tiny quantities, on the order of a few thousandths of a gram or less each day. They are con sequently called micronutrients. Mi cro nutrients are needed for the production of enzymes, hormones and other substances that are required to regulate biological pro cesses leading to growth, activity, development and the functioning of the immune and reproductive systems. All of the minerals that the body needs - calcium, phosphorous, iron, zinc, iodine, sodium, potassium and magnesium, for example - have to come either from the food we eat or from supplements. While the body manufactures many of the complex organic molecules it needs from simpler building blocks, the vitamins - A, the B complex, C and so on - are not synthesized. Vitamin D is exceptional in that it can be made in the skin, providing a person has sufficient exposure to direct sunlight.

68. A Tale Of Two Statistics A tale of two statistics. For many years, the internationally accepted estimate for malnutrition among India s children has been 63%. http://www.unicef.org/pon96/nutale.htm

A tale of two statistics For many years, the internationally accepted estimate for malnutrition among India's children has been 63%. New estimates available this year (included in the league table of malnutrition) put the figure at 53%. Does that mean that child malnutrition in India has fallen by 10 percentage points? Unfortunately not. The older figure of 63% was based on estimates made by the National Institute of Nutrition in Hyderabad for the period 1988-1990 and was based on sample surveys in only eight states, only rural areas, and mostly in South India. The new estimate of 53% comes from the recent (1992-93) National Family Health Survey, which collected detailed information from 25 states and was designed to be representative of 99% of India's young child population. The new figure of 53% for the proportion of India's children who are malnourished can therefore not be directly compared with the earlier figure of 63%. Because over a third of the world's malnourished children live in India, the new estimate also has a big impact on regional and worldwide trends. In 1993, for example, The Progress of Nations reported that the total number of malnourished children in the developing world was 190 million or 36% of all under-fives, whereas the charts on this page show a total of 165 million or 31%. There is therefore an apparent fall of 5% or approximately 25 million. The change in the estimated figure for India accounts for about half of this difference, but, as we have seen, it is a change which reflects not better nutrition but better estimates.

The study, carried out by Johns Hopkins University and the humanitarian group CARE, found that the Gaza Strip was particularly hard hit, with 13 percent of children suffering from acute malnutrition, putting it on the same level as Nigeria, Somalia and Bangladesh. A market survey also showed shortages of protein-rich foods, such as fish and chicken, among retailers. About half of retailers and wholesalers surveyed said they had shortages of infant formula. About half of the 1,000 households surveyed in June said they had to borrow money to buy food. Some 70 percent of Palestinians are now living on $2 a day.

Bahasa Indonesia Nederlands English Español Português Highlights: Current story: Malnutrition Created: 21 January 2000 The therapeutic feeding centre is a busy place. Every month, at least 100 children pass through the TFC in Bo, Sierra Leone's second largest city. Shortly after the rainy season begins in May, the number of frail, emaciated creatures being brought into the therapeutic feeding centre begins to rise. It peaks at the height of the rainy season in July and August. As farmers start to harvest their crops, the numbers begin to drop, only to pick up at the start of the next rainy season. It's a never-ending cycle which has been aggravated by the war and its consequences. In the paediatric ward of Bo Hospital, a boy stares out with a vacant look in his eyes. He was brought into the hospital in a coma. His illiterate mother realised far too late that he was severely ill. "The child cannot even walk any more," says Dr. Bah, the paediatrician who is responsible for the hospital, the rest of Bo District and the entire southern province of Sierra Leone. "He can barely talk. It's clear that he has suffered brain damage because he was in a coma for such a long time. He can't even sit upright anymore. He spends all his time in the cot or in the arms of his mother. It's irreparable", he explains in a weary voice.

Public release date: 13-Feb-2004 Contact: Roger Segelken hrs2@cornell.edu Cornell University News Service Malnutrition and misery will be 'unimaginable' by 2054 SEATTLE If today's global statistics of more than 3 billion malnourished people are worrisome, try projecting 50 years into the future, when Earth's population could exceed 12 billion and there could be even less water and land, per capita, to grow food. The current level of malnutrition among nearly half the world's population of 6.3 billion is unprecedented in human history, says agricultural ecologist David Pimentel of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. "Every trend from decreasing per-capita availability of food and cropland to population growth shows the predicament becoming even more dire," Pimentel says. "In the next 50 years, the degree of malnutrition, resultant disease and human misery is unimaginable. But we have to try to consider the future while there is still time to make meaningful changes, to reverse these trends and ensure a sustainable food supply." Pimentel's views were presented by his colleague, Paul Reitan of the University at Buffalo, today (Feb. 13) at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Seattle. The title of the talk was "The Importance of Soil in Sustaining Civilization."

For Patients Aging Begins at 30 Malnutrition in the Elderly - Myth or Misnomer Ian Maclean Smith, M.D. Emeritus Professor Department of Internal Medicine University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Creation Date: 1996 Last Revision Date: 1996 Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed People don't have to have beri-beri or scurvy to suffer from malnutrition. They can have a diet rich in vitamins and minerals and still be malnourished. Obesity is a form of malnourishment. Many of the obese are elderly, perhaps two to three million out of the thirty-five million Americans aged 65 and older in the U.S. "Fat people die happy" you say. "And much younger" I reply. Only 60% of obese reach 60 years of age as compared to 90% who fit the norm in weight. Don't let this form of malnutrition push you into an uncomfortable medical condition or rob you of the fun of retirement years. "Am I obese?" you ask. I define the normal weight in women as 114 lbs. at five feet with four pounds added per inch in height over five feet. In men you just change the baseline to 124 pounds. There are more complex formulas, but I can do this one quickly in my head. "So, what is obese?" Overweight is 10% above the norm and obesity is 20% above. Morbid obesity, a life-threatening condition, is 100% above the expected normal. Here, as in many areas, prevention is better than cure. Losing weight is easier the younger you are. Extra weight in almost all cases is caused by years of bad habits in behavior, exercise, and diet. This is most of the truth but not all of it. There are some unanswered questions. Adoptees follow their natural parents in their weight. Maybe there are also a very few as yet undiagnosed diseases causing obesity.
