MAHA's goal is to reduce chronic diseases, and obesity is a major link to chronic diseases. Educating, educating, and educating the population about healthy lifestyle habits, especially children, is crucial.

Severe early-onset obesity is linked to an earlier and more severe risk of chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, and premature mortality. Researchers at Duke University School of Medicine described severe obesity in young children as a "canary in the coal mine for the health of future generations." The best infant formulas are made primarily from corn syrup and are associated with a higher risk of obesity in the first five years of life; breastfeeding is associated with a lower risk of obesity.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 32.4% of people worldwide and is the most common cause of liver transplantation in adults under 50. NAFLD also affects up to 9.6% of American children aged 2 to 19.

But drugs continue to have serious health consequences:

--GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic, dampen emotional responses, reduce life satisfaction, and significantly increase the risk of depression and suicidal ideation by altering brain chemistry and dopamine regulation.

---Ozempic and similar weight loss drugs have been linked to 162 deaths in the U.S., with adverse reactions increasing by 40% in six months as usage expands

---These medications are associated with serious side effects, including pancreatitis, bowel obstruction and stomach paralysis, with 80% to 90% of users experiencing at least one adverse event

---Studies have found a significant link between semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic) and suicidal ideation, particularly in patients also taking antidepressants or antianxiety medications

---Emerging reports indicate severe kidney problems in some patients using these weight loss drugs

---Akkermansia, a beneficial gut bacteria, is a natural alternative to stimulate GLP-1 production, offering similar benefits without the risks associated with drugs like Ozempic

So, deeper fat stores hang on. Does this mean the dangerous fat to accumulate around the organs hangs on too? Along with the Zombie, Walking Dead, Vampire Faces come bingo wings, thigh slappers and belly flappers. So then if one can afford it, plastic surgery is needed to remove many more pound of stretched out skin.

Go back pre 70s and the numbers of morbidly obese people was extremely low compared today. So were the levels of chronically Ill. Type two diabetes was nearly nonexistent. Follow the numbers and it is clear so much suffering experienced today has not been a shortage of shots or pills.
