39.5% of the American population will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
The current US Obesity Rate stands at 42.4%. This now makes the US the most obese country in the industrialized world. Canada, Australia, and Europe are not far behind.
53% of all seniors have at least 3 chronic diseases and 69% of them are taking 5 or more drugs.
Chronic lifestyle diseases are on the rise despite medical advancements.
The cost of treating chronic disease is NOT just threatening to bankrupt individuals and families, but entire countries.
The estimated cost to treat chronic disease in the US alone is $3.7 trillion per year. Ouch!
As far back as 1989 the World Health Organization recommended women consume NO MORE than 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day, and NO MORE than 9 teaspoons for men. This recommendation was subsequently endorsed by more than 170 WHO member countries via the "2014 Rome Declaration on Nutrition."
Today, the average person consumes 48 teaspoons of added sugar per day (48 teaspoons x 4 grams per teaspoon = 192 grams of added sugar).
This is a serious problem! Our summit is here to help bring those numbers down and save lives. Personally, we recommend 0 teaspoons.
