• Type II Diabetes is the inability to produce
or use insulin.
• Insulin is a hormone that is needed to
move sugar from the blood stream into the
tissue to be processed further.

15. High Blood Pressure
• According to recent estimates, about one in
three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but
because there are no symptoms, nearly one-
third of these people don't know they have it. In
fact, many people have high blood pressure for
years without knowing it. Uncontrolled high
blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack,
heart failure or kidney failure. This is why high
blood pressure is often called the "silent killer."

Notas do Editor
We have never had an epidemic like this that we have been able to track so thoroughly and see. As I told you, this is conservative. About 60 million adults, or 30 percent of the adult population, are now obese, which represents a doubling of the rate since 1980.
