Half of American Adults Headed for Diabetes by 2020, UnitedHealth Says
Obesity, Sedentary Habits Could Cost U.S. $3.4 Trillion by Decade's End.
Half of all American adults are destined to develop diabetes or pre-diabetes by 2020 if they don't slim down, according to a dire new prediction that pegs the cost of their care at $3.35 billion by decade's end.
Under the scenario, if current trends continue, the ranks of American adults with excessive blood sugar levels would swell from 93.8 million this year (about 28 million diabetics and 66 million more with pre-diabetes) to 135 million in 2020...

(Reuters Life!) - Up to a third of U.S. adults could have diabetes by 2050 if Americans continue to gain weight and avoid exercise, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projected on Friday.
The numbers are certain to go up as the population gets older, but they will accelerate even more unless Americans change their behavior, the CDC said.
"We project that, over the next 40 years, the prevalence of total diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed) in the United States will increase from its current level of about one in 10 adults to between one in five and one in three adults in 2050," the CDC's James Boyle and colleagues wrote in their report...

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) Cause Allergies, Delayed Food Sensitivities, Food Intolerances and in Some Cases Even Death
...The consensus among independent scientists and researchers is that GMO foods are dangerous and that any use of them should be prominently displayed on a product label to give the average consumer a choice. The FDA decided against warnings to the general public against the advice of its own scientists. Big Food doesn’t want you to know that GMO products can trigger allergies, digestive illnesses, diabetes and cancer...

Does Your Food Contain Genetically Modified Organisms?
...There’s also the food safety factor to keep in mind. GM crops (trees, too) are genetically modified to produce or tolerate pesticides. Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, has been linked to birth defects, cancer and miscarriages in humans.
