An estimated 25% of American children are at risk for obesity, many with elevated levels of cholesterol and blood pressure. Numerous children exhibit a high percentage of plaque and hardening of the arteries before the age of 10, and are showing up with Type II diabetes. Although genetics plays a role in obesity, it is often their diet that invites these health problems. Parents often use food like candy as rewards. Fast food dining, Dr. Catherine Parrish quips, is "not the way to your heart; it's the way to atherosclerosis."
