Disturbing Title in Huffington Post about Children and the Cause for Eating Disorders

There are two titles to the same article related to eating disorders in children Posted by Colleen Perry on  8/2/11 08:29 AM ET in Huffington Post.

The first Article Title “Why Do Our Little Girls Want To Be Sexy?” without content but above picture of little girl wearing bikini is posted on the Healthy Living front page on the Huffington Post and the second title, “Sexualization of Young Children Linked to Eating Disorder Development” above the full content of the article in Huffington Post.

Suggestive questions, like “Why Do Our Little Girls Want To Be Sexy?”, has the means to create public opinion that children are affected with eating disorders entirely or in partly by the intention to be sexy.

There is a lot wrong with this title, with the article, and with the human understanding about the cause and solution for eating disorders and obesity.

The little girls, or better to say young children, don’t even think about to be sexy. They want to be beautiful. There is nothing wrong with them. The young and the old do care about their own outward appearance.

It is wrong that some adults do see a child as “sexy”!

Children affected with eating disorders feel guilty about that, and accuse them that their condition is caused partly or entirely because they want to be sexy is wrong beyond words, and at the same time is a terrible thing to say.

People involved in the eating disorder industry, and people involved in weight loss industry should confront with a few facts, and one of them is that obesity in children is a new phenomenon, unknown to any previous generation in recorded human history and it is normal that children are afraid from obesity.

Another fact is that the entire science of weight gain and weight loss is created without knowing that some amount of the energy in food intake human body excretes as metabolic waste. Namely, in the span of more than one hundred years established scientists on obesity didn’t know that stool contains calories.

The worst is that many obesity scientists and the rest of the population involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity recently realised that some amount of energy in food intake excretes as waste, and they start to pretend that they already knew that fact along with removing from the internet their scientific work, and some of them inventing new theories like “some Gut bacteria extract more energy from the food, etc. These theories were made in a hurry and the only purpose is to put a smoke screen on the fact that scientists didn’t know that stool contains calories. Even today, the term metabolic waste is unknown in scientific literature related to obesity.

Eating disorders are caused by a few cumulative factors.

1. The fact that first time in history obesity effect children.

2. Despite the fact from real life, adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity and eating disorders believe that they know what causes and what cures obesity that make every obese child feel guilty. With one side, children suffer from obesity and with the other, they feel guilty and some of them are affected with an overdeveloped sense of shame.

4. Adults, (medical and all other kind of obesity researchers) couldn’t know what causes obesity because they didn’t know that human body excrete calories.

3. Obesity experts including the rest of the people involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity and eating disorders didn’t know that the human body excrete calories and because of that, children still think that every single calorie in food intake, if not spent, will end up as fat mass.

The obesity and eating disorders in children is the sole fault of scientists and the rest of people involved in commercial or voluntary research, prevention and treatment of obesity and eating disorders.

Fear from obesity on the one side, and the fact that nothing works to cure obesity is responsible for eating disorders in children, and it is also responsible for eating disorders among adults.

Adults should explain to children that they were wrong in their understanding what causes and what cures obesity.

Adults should understand what causes and what cures obesity, and that is impossible by pretending that everything was fine with their understanding of obesity.

The problem is that adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity are not affected with obesity, and they have more interest to defend their scientific integrity, and the scientific integrity of more or less reputable scientific institutions than to solve the problem of obesity in children, because when people knew what causes and what cures obesity it will be obvious that scientists didn’t know that some amount of the energy in food intake human body excrete as metabolic waste.

The irony is that the rising trend of eating disorder is what has created the industry of eating disorders and that disappearance of eating disorder will cause the disappearance of eating disorder industry.

It is known that adults don’t have the ability to think about other peoples children when their existence is endangered.

Children affected with eating disorders feel guilty about that and accuse them that their condition is caused partly or entirely because they want to be sexy is absurd beyond words.

There are a few similarities between adults involved in the research, prevention mad treatment of obesity and adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of eating disorders.

1. Adults involved in the research, prevention, and treatments of obesity like to believe that they know what causes and what cures obesity and eating disorders.

2. Adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of eating disorders like to believe that they knew what causes and what cure obesity and eating disorders.

A side note: It is understandable that some adults are involved in the prevention and treatment of obesity or eating disorders, but it is not understandable why some adults are involved in the research of obesity or eating disorders when everyone likes to believe that they knew what causes and what cures obesity and eating disorders????

Despite the fact that adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity believe that they know what causes and what cures eating disorders they can’t be involved in the eating disorder business because they are all thin, and because of that they are not good examples to children who are afraid not to become obese.

On the other hand, adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of eating disorders like to believe that they know what causes and what cures obesity, but they can’t be involved in the weight loss industry because if not all majority of them is affected with overweight or obesity, and they are not good example to present to people who like to lose weight.

Adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity should leave children alone and they should treat each other. Adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of obesity should research, prevent and treat overweight and obesity in among the adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of eating disorders and adults involved in the research, prevention and treatment of eating disorder should research, prevent and treat eating disorder in adults involved in research, prevention and treatment of obesity.

Thanks for reading and if anyone thinks that something is not true in the article above please let me know by posting a comment. Especially if you think that obesity scientist and particularly scientists involved in genetics research of obesity knew that human body excrete calories before I have published the article about calories and energy balance”, please let me know and it will be great if you can provide evidence.

P. S. Modern Science of Biomechanics is The Real Science of Weight gain and Weight Loss and it offers the real solution for obesity and eating disorders.

UK, the Year 2008 -Take Obese Children into Care, Says Health Expert

According to UK Health Experts from 2008, “authorities should take obese children from their families and into care, and that those whose health is at risk should then undergo stomach-stapling operations”. (Telegraph,03 Oct 2008)

At that time (just 2 to 3 years ago), if not the majority of obesity experts were campaigning for the removal of obese children from their parents, or they were silent (passively supporting) about the issue concerning the removal of obese children from their parents.

It is unbelievable that just 3 years ago, no one established obesity scientist or established health expert in theUKor in theUSAhave complained about the idea of forcing children to undergo stomach-stapling operation. (If you know an established obesity scientist or health expert that was against the idea of forcing children to stomach stapling operation, please let me know)

That was the days when the obesity experts had great concern for children affected with obesity, but they didn’t know that stool contains calories. Ignoring the suffering of obese children, a man can find sympathy for obesity experts because despite the fact that at that time, obesity experts didn’t know that stool contains calories, their intention was for the wellbeing of children.

The fact that for children affected with severe obesity nothing works was known to obesity scientist in 2008, but despite that they were actively or passively campaigning for the removal of severely obese children from their parents.

The only reason that in the UK obesity experts or any other kind of health experts will not suggest or support any possible campaign to remove obese children from their parent is, they are now aware that some amount of the energy in food intake, the human body will excrete as metabolic waste (metabolic waste is: stool, urine, sweat, breath, etc.).

In theUK, not only is there is no chance that a child affected with obesity or severe obesity will be removed from their parents, but there is no chance that any obesity expert will ever suggest that.

Obesity scientists, health experts and the government officials should confront with the fact that, if parents knew what makes their children obese, there will be no obese children.

The established obesity scientists and health experts should admit the fact that they don’t know what causes obesity among children.

The government should take an active role in solving the problem of obesity, and stop to be an executive body of established obesity scientists and established health experts.

The obesity epidemic can be relatively easy to combat but it is hard to explain. One reason that makes it hard to explain is because the entire established science of obesity is created without knowing that the human body excrete some energy in food intake.( Until recently, the established scientific community didn’t know that some amount of energy in food intake, human body excrete as metabolic waste  – they didn’t know that stool contains calories.)

Modern Science of BiomechanicsThe Real Science of Weight Gain/Weigh­t Loss

Loss of the Fat Mass in Space – Weightlessness/Microgravit

In weightlessness (microgravity), the human body is affected with involuntary loss of the muscle, bone and fat mass.

Note;

  1. Body has weight because of the pull of gravity.
  2. In weightlessness, the body doesn’t have weight.
  3. No one can lose weight in weightlessness. (You can’t lose something that you don’t have.)
  4. In weightlessness, the human body, like any physical object, has mass. In an environment of 1G and in weightlessness, the body has mass.

For the time being in weightlessness/microgravity, increased food intakes will not even slow the loss of the muscles, bones and fat mass.

There is no supplement, drugs or any kind of food that will even slow in weightlessness the atrophy of the muscles bones and fat mass.

It is obvious that even a Bear will not gain body mass in weightlessness, despite excessive feeding, nor it will be saved from atrophy of the existing body mass.

The involuntary loss of the muscles, bones and fat mass is one major obstacle for any possible prolonged space travel.

The only way to slow the ATROPHY of the muscles, bones and FAT MASS is to do exercises on a specially designed exercises device for weightlessness.

The example of how the weightlessness affect the body mass regulation, shows us that without the pull of gravity it will be not only impossible to gain body mass whether it is muscles mass, bones mass or FAT MASS, it would also be impossible to maintain the existing body weight whether you are human or a bear.

The biological basis of fat mass formation and the mechanisms of body fat distribution can be understood by almost everyone, but it takes time to explain.

The article on my website: Food, Water, Air, Physical Activity, Gravity and Weight Gain/Weight Loss explain a little bit more about regulating the mechanism of weight gain and weight loss.

That article doesn’t explain everything, but it is the first step to understand the biological basis of fat mass formation. (Actually it should be the talk of fat cells formation and fat mass formation but for the sake of simplicity, I  mentioned only fat mass formation because formation of the fat cells causes an increase of the fat mass and an increase of the size of single cell increases body fat mass.

Please note:

There is only one biological basis of fat mass formation.

There are many mechanisms underlining body fat mass distributions.

Diet Soda is linked to Weight Gain

By maintaining the same level of physical activity, some people can eat little food and be obese or severely obese, and some people can eat plenty of food and still be normal in their weight or even underweight. That is the fact known to people before the pseudoscience of weight gain and weight loss has been created.

1. The fact that Diet Soda is linked to Weight Gain should be interpreted that something is wrong with the basic science of weight gain and weight loss.

2. There is no ground to make out of hand a conclusion that people gain weight, because then they crave sweets and eat more.

3. There is no point to invent some ad hoc theory like that insulin causes fat storage and prevents fat release.

A. There has to be a confrontation with the fact that the basic science of weight gain and weight loss is wrong.

B. There has to be a confrontation with the fact that weight gain and weight loss is not about calories or energy.

 Please note! Weight loss treatment involving dieting, increased physical activity, diet pills and bariatric surgeries were invented when obesity scientists believed that every single calorie in food intake if not spent, will be stored as fat mass. These believe was in line with the anabolism and catabolism theory – (flawed theories). At those times, the theory “calories in – calories out” was an unquestioned scientific dogma. The obvious reason for that is: obesity researcher didn’t know that some amount of energy in food intake, the human body excretes as metabolic waste (they didn’t know that stool contain calories) Read more.

Food, Water, Air and Obesity

Like, water and air, optimal nutrition is essential for life but the obesity epidemic in children and in adults is not caused by insufficient physical activity and/or excessive food intake.

It is impossible to explain in a few words because there is so much of preconceived mind about the cause and solution for obesity that is born out of wrong science of weight gain/weight loss.

1. Causes for obesity epidemic are misunderstood.

2. The basic science of weight Gain/weight loss is wrong.

3. The weight loss induced by weight loss surgeries is misunderstood.

4. The weight loss induced by starvation diet or any other diet is misunderstood. (The article which explains the mechanism underlining weight loss induced by starvation diet will be posted on my website in a few days.)

The obesity epidemic can be relatively easy to combat but it is hard to explain. One reason that makes it hard to explain is because the entire established science of obesity is created without knowing that the human body excrete some energy in food intake.( Until recently, the established scientific community didn’t know that some amount of energy in food intake, human body excrete as metabolic waste  - they didn’t know that stool contains calories.)

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual" - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

The big obstacle to combat obesity is the fact that nearly “everyone thinks they know” why people getting obese and nearly “everyone thinks they know” what people should do in order to lose excessive body weight.

Weight loss treatment involving dieting, increased physical activity, diet pills and bariatric surgeries was invented when obesity scientists believed that every single calories in food intake if not spent will be stored. Those believe was in line with the anabolism and catabolism theories - (flawed theories). At those times, the theory “calories in – calories out" was unquestioned scientific dogma.
A few years back, it was realized that a significant amount of food intake lives in the body as metabolic waste (faeces, urine, sweat, breathe etc.). (Significant and variable amount of the energy in food intake human body doesn’t use but excretes mainly through the digestive and urinary system.)There was a little confusion among people involved in research, prevention and treatments of obesity, but another theory was quickly invented. It was a “calories in – calories out over a prolonged period of time”. This theory is widely known as “the energy balance”.

In 2007 I havedebunked the “energy balance paradigm”.

Since early 2010, “The Association for the Study of Obesity (ASO)”, theUnited Kingdoms foremost organisation dedicated to the understanding and treatment of obesity, has removed from their website everything that mentioned calories in – calories out and the energy balance. Up to date of 30 March 2011 on “The web site of the Association for the Study of Obesity (ASO)” there is noting about calories or “energy balance”. The ASO used to run the ORIC, the Obesity Resource and Information Centre. The ORIC disappeared from the internet in the early of 2010.

The UK Government's Foresight Report 'Tackling Obesities: Future Choices', in 2007, 2008 and 2009 involving around 100 obesity scientists, was based on the “Energy Balance Paradigm”. It appears that all Foresight UK work related to the problem of obesity was not only fruitless, but it was also misleading.
It seems that since early 2010, Foresight UK doesn’t do any work on the obesity problem.

It appears that the “calories in – calories out” and the “energy balance paradigm” as a basis of understanding obesity have been abandoned by UK obesity researchers.
