Survey of American food trends and the growing obesity epidemic
Qin Shao1 and Khew-Voon Chin2,§

The rapid rise in the incidence of obesity has emerged as one of the most pressing global public health issues in recent years. The underlying
etiological causes of obesity, whether behavioral, environmental, genetic, or a combination of several of them, have not been completely elucidated.
The obesity epidemic has been attributed to the ready availability, abundance, and overconsumption of high-energy content food. We determined
here by Pearson's correlation the relationship between food type consumption and rising obesity using the loss-adjusted food availability data from
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Services (ERS) as well as the obesity prevalence data from the Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) at the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). Our analysis showed that total calorie intake and consumption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) did not correlate with
rising obesity trends. Intake of other major food types, including chicken, dairy fats, salad and cooking oils, and cheese also did not correlate with
obesity trends. However, our results surprisingly revealed that consumption of corn products correlated with rising obesity and was independent
of gender and race/ethnicity among population dynamics in the U.S. Therefore, we were able to demonstrate a novel link between the consumption
of corn products and rising obesity trends that has not been previously attributed to the obesity epidemic. This correlation coincides with the introduction
of bioengineered corns into the human food chain, thus raising a new hypothesis that should be tested in molecular and animal models of obesity.
Key Words: Obesity, food trend, corn product, genetically modified, bioengineered
It is estimated that, worldwide, approximately 937 million
adults are overweight and 396 million are obese [1]. This rising
trend continues unabated both globally and in the United States,
which claims the largest population of overweight and obese
adults [2,3]. Various etiologic factors associated with obesity
have been reported, including a number of genes identified from
genome-wide scans and functional genomic studies as well as
some viruses and bacteria [4-7]. The current prevailing hypothesis
centers on the premise that the problem of obesity is one of
energy imbalance, wherein total energy intake far exceeds energy
output [8]. In addition, the global epidemic of obesity has been
attributed to heuristic observations of an increase in the
consumption of high-energy/high-fat content foods coupled with
a sedentary lifestyle that expends little energy.
The notion that particular nutrients or food sources might
influence obesity is controversial [9]. For example, the increased
consumption of some food types, including beverages and foods
that contain high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is speculated to
be associated with obesity [10,11]. Moreover, in a previous study,
mice given HFCS-sweetened water gained more weight and
showed increase adiposity [12]. While the results of this animal
study seem to provide experimental evidence that supports the
hypothesis that consumption of HFCS causes obesity, the results
from epidemiological and clinical studies in human are
inconclusive [13,14], leaving the question of HFCS association
with obesity unanswered. Therefore, whether or not the intake
of certain food types predisposes an individual to increased risk
for obesity needs to be examined.
Quantifying the amount of food an individual consumes daily
is difficult, and determining the intake of specific food types
is intractable, thus posing significant challenges to the
investigation of food intake and the development of obesity. It
is known that the Loss-Adjusted Food Availability Data from
the Economic Research Services (ERS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) constitute time series data
on the national food supply of several hundred food-types
targeted to the food marketing system. These data are represented
as per capita food availability and are useful for studying food
consumption trends, as they are an indirect measurement of actual
food intake [15].

American food trends and obesity
Fig. 1. Comparison of rising obesity trends of NHANES and BRFSS datasets.
Alignment of the NHANES and BRFSS obesity trend datasets was performed to
find the optimal correspondence. The left ordinate indicates the obesity prevalence
by median %; and the right ordinate shows the average daily per capita calories
consumed for each food type. The rising obesity trends are similar between the
NHANES and BRFSS datasets. Open circles (?) are BRFSS; and closed circles
(?) are NHANES obesity trends data with BMI ≥30 from their respective datasets.
To determine whether or not excess energy intake or the
consumption specific food types contribute to the development
of obesity, we surveyed Loss-Adjusted Food Availability and obesity
prevalence data to investigate the correlation between total
energy intake and consumption of certain food types with rising
trends in obesity. We confirmed a novel association of rising
obesity trends with increased corn product consumption that may
be linked to the growing and ubiquitous presence of genetically
modified (GM) or engineered (GE) corn in the human diet.
Subjects and Methods
We obtained the Loss-Adjusted Food Availability Data
(1970-2008) from the Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System
at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic
Research Services (ERS). The per capita food availability data
was adjusted for food spoilage, waste, and other losses, as well
as converted to average daily per capita calories. The data are
downloadable at the USDA ERS data bank [16].
The obesity prevalence and trends data spanning from 1995
and 2008, comprised of health survey data on health risk
behaviors such as obesity, were obtained from the Behavioral
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [17]. Trends data with
body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, classified as obese, were used
in this study. The National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES) obesity data between 1960 and 2008 were
downloaded from the E-Stats data bank at CDC [18].
Data for genetically modified corn varieties adopted in the U.S.
were obtained from USDA ERS National Agricultural Statistics
Service [19].
Statistical analysis
We analyzed the relationship between the trends in obesity
prevalence and the average daily per capita calories consumed
for various food types using Pearson's correlation. To validate
the positive correlations, we investigated the dependence of the
obesity trends on different food types by fitting a multiple linear
regression using both full and reduced model functions.
Since the BRFSS obesity prevalence and trends data were only
available between 1995 and 2008, we tested the correlation
between each food type from 1995 through 2008 by Pearson's
correlation and multiple linear regression. The food types
analyzed were red meat, poultry, dairy products, grains, fats and
oils, sweeteners, and average total calories consumed daily per
capita. In addition, specific food types such as fish, eggs, nuts,
and some dairy products exhibiting either negative or no change
in the trends of consumption between 1995 and 2008 were not
subjected to Pearson's analysis.
To determine the correlation between obesity and food type
intake, we first assessed the suitability of the BRFSS dataset for
our analysis. Use of the NHANES obesity prevalence data was
hampered by the availability of only five data points, NHANES
(1999-2000), (2001-2002), (2003-2004), (2005-2006), and (2007-
2008), in contrast to the 14 data points in the BRFSS dataset
between 1995 and 2008, which is statistically more favorable
for our study. However, the BRFSS dataset, which is based on
self-reported weights and heights, is generally considered inferior
to the NHANES obesity prevalence data [20,21]. Despite the
qualitative and quantitative differences between the NHANES
and BRFSS data, our results show that the obesity trends between
1995 and 2008 derived from the two datasets were remarkably
similar by regression analysis (Fig. 1). Therefore, we used the
BRFSS data for our correlation study with the food trends data
since it is statistically more robust than the NHANES dataset.
We analyzed the USDA ERS Loss-Adjusted Food Availability
Data, which include seven major aggregated food groups
including 1, meat, eggs, and nuts; 2, dairy; 3, fruit; 4, vegetables;
5, flour and cereal products; 6, added fats and oils, and dairy
fats; and 7, caloric sweeteners. These groups are further
comprised of more than 100 individual or specific food types
(commodities). Analysis of these food types revealed that a large
number of them including fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, beverage
milk, fish and shellfish, fruit juice, nuts, and others, showed either
negative trends or no change in trends of consumption and did
not coincide with rising trends in obesity (Fig. 2).
Since energy imbalance resulting from excess calorie intake
is thought to contribute to obesity, we first analyzed the trends
in calorie intake between 1995 and 2008. The food availability
data indicated that the average daily per capita total calorie intake
has plateaued since year 2000, whereas obesity exhibited a rising
trend (Fig. 3A), and Pearson's analysis showed a correlation coefficient
of 0.79 (Table 1). In contrast, strong positive correlations with

that, with the exception of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, most
other cheeses, such as provolone, parmesan, Swiss cheese, blue
cheese, and others, showed little or no changes in consumption
trends between 1995 and 2008, and Pearson's analysis of either
cheddar (Fig. 3E) or mozzarella (Fig. 3F) did not show correlation
with rising obesity.
Even though correlation with obesity was not found for "Added
Fats and Oils, and Dairy Fats" (Fig. 3G), with a correlation
coefficient of 0.86 (Table 1), analysis of Salad and Cooking Oils
(Fig. 3H) and Dairy Fats (Fig. 3I) revealed correlation with
obesity, each with a correlation coefficient of 0.97 (Table 1).
These correlations subsequently did not cross-validate upon
further analysis by multiple linear regression (see below).
Additionally, either poor or negative correlations were found
for foods such as flour and cereal products, shortening, red meat,
caloric sweeteners, and HFCS, with correlation coefficients of
-0.03, -0.18, -0.40, -0.74, and -0.38, respectively (Fig. 3J-N, and
Table 1). The consumption of refined cane and beet sugar (Fig.
3O) as well as sweet corn as a fresh vegetable (Fig. 3P) also
did not correlate with obesity. The consumption of corn as a
fresh vegetable constituted only a small percentage (averaging
0.01%) of the total calorie intake between 1995 and 2008.
To further test these positive correlations with obesity trends,
we performed a fitting by multiple linear regression analysis with
food types that showed correlation coefficients > 0.95, which
included chicken, corn products, dairy fats, salad and cooking
oils, and total cheese, in a full model function. This analysis
showed that only corn products had p-values smaller than 0.05
(Table 2), suggesting that consumption of corn products had a
significant effect on rising obesity trends. In the reduced model,
we analyzed corn products and total cheese, which have p-values
closest to 0.05 from the full model analysis, and our results
confirmed a correlation between corn products, but not total
cheese, and obesity trends (Table 2).
The observed correlation between consumption of corn
products and rising obesity is surprising. It is noteworthy that
HFCS is classified separately as a caloric sweetener and not
aggregated with other corn products. Moreover, HFCS showed
a negative correlation with rising obesity (Table 1). We were
not able to fully analyze whether or not corn product consumption
correlated with obesity trends between 1970 and 1994 because
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) datasets are only available in four cross-sectional,

Fig. 5. Correlation of corn products intake with NHANES obesity prevalence
data stratified by race/ethnicity and gender. Obesity prevalence data stratified by
race/ethnicity and gender from NHANES III (1988-1994), NHANES (1999-2000),
(2001-2002), (2003-2004), (2005-2006), and (2007-2008) were plotted against corn
product consumption between 1995 and 2008. Open squares (?), obesity trends
data with BMI ≥ 30; and closed circles (?), average daily per capita corn products
intake in calories. Alignment was performed for the relationship of rising obesity with
corn product consumption between 1995 and 2008 for non-Hispanic white men (A)
and women (B); non-Hispanic black men (C) and women (D); and Mexican-American
men (E) and women (F).
nationally representative surveys prior to 1995, including
NHANES I (1971-1975), II (1976-1980), and III (1988-1994)
[22], thus yielding only three data points for Pearson's correlation
analysis of corn-rich products. Nevertheless, we showed that the
trends in obesity prevalence and corn product consumption
between 1970 and 1994 did not align (Fig. 4A).
We were also aware that genetically modified (GM) corn has
been planted in the U.S. since 1996 [23]. To further investigate
the relationship between bioengineered corn and rising obesity,
we obtained data on the adoption of GM corn from the USDA,
which covered the period between 2000 and 2008, for comparison
with rising obesity. These data did not take into account the use
of GM corn for other purposes besides as a food or animal feed.
Despite this limitation, our result shows that the trends of obesity
and adoption of GM corn were similar (Fig. 4B).
We further asked whether or not the consumption of corn
products might be associated with the demographic distribution
of the population. Using the NHANES stratified obesity
prevalence data between NHANES III (1988-1994), NHANES
(1999-2000), (2001-2002), (2003-2004), (2005-2006), and (2007-
2008), we examined the relationship between corn product
consumption and race/ethnicity of men and women between 1995
and 2008. Our results show that the trends of obesity and corn
product consumption rose in parallel irrespective of gender
among non-Hispanic white men and women (Fig. 5A and B),
non-Hispanic black men and women (Fig. 5C and D), and
Mexican-American men and women (Fig. 5E and F), thus
suggesting that the association of rising obesity trends with
increased corn product consumption is independent of race/
ethnicity and gender.
Our analysis of obesity and food type consumption trends data
in this report yielded three major findings. First, it has been long
accepted that overconsumption of food coupled with a sedentary
lifestyle results in a positive energy imbalance, which is a formula
for obesity development. Our analysis in this report, however,
indicates that even though total calorie intake in the U.S. has
plateaued in recent years, the incidence of obesity continues to
rise, thus suggesting that rising obesity trends do not correlate
with total energy intake. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the
total caloric intake has plateaued while the levels of physical
activity have also not increased, thus explaining the intransigent
obesity trends.
Second, HFCS as a cause of obesity has been intensely debated.
It was shown recently that rats given HFCS along with a regular
chow diet gained more weight than control rats, even when they
consumed the same amount of calories [24]. Further, consumption
of an HFCS-containing diet increased visceral fats and blood
triglycerides over time. However, our results show a negative
correlation of HFCS with rising obesity, as HFCS consumption
has been on the decline since 2000. However, this negative
correlation does not refute the underlying biological role of HFCS
in obesity. Instead, it suggests that HFCS consumption on the
whole may not contribute to rising obesity trends. Though we
initially also observed positive correlations between increased
consumption of chicken, salad and cooking oils, dairy fats, and
total cheese with obesity, subsequent multiple linear regression
analysis and cross-validation of these results revealed a lack of
significance in these correlations.
The above observations suggest that additional factors may be
involved in rising obesity trends. Therefore, our third finding
of a correlation between increased corn product intake and rising
obesity between 1995 and 2008 is intriguing, as these foods are
not generally considered unhealthy. What are the underlying
etiologic links between these foods and obesity?
In the ERS dataset, corn products are considered an aggregate
comprised of flour and meal, hominy and grits, cornstarch, and
other corn products, which are widely used in the manufacture
of a large variety of food products consumed by humans.
Recently, it was reported that approximately 85% of the corn
grown in the U.S. is transgenic [25]. The increased ubiquity of
GM or genetically engineered corn products in human food
sources is noted, but their potential impact on human health has

Let's get some perspective on what has really happened in Indian markets. India's main stock indices are now about 10 per cent lower than the highest levels reached (however briefly) in the last five years. Meanwhile, the rupee has fallen against the dollar since January, from about Rs 55 to about Rs 65. These twin developments have prompted media headlines like "free fall" and "panic".
The rupee has been the weakest currency this year, commentators have said, forgetting that it was unjustifiably strong for years and that, viewed properly in a longer time context, the currency has done no worse than what one should expect. If the drop in value has been sudden, that is all to the good - a slow decline dragged out over months would have created far too much uncertainty. In any case, currency movements are often stochastic. If the fall is excessive, the rupee will bounce back. By exaggerating these events with hyperbole, an atmosphere has been built up as though everything is collapsing around our ears.

Spirit Path Yoga & WellnessRead MoreOwner Cassandra Lidin oversees Spirit Path Yoga and Wellness's staff of instructors and therapists as they dole out doses of holistic well-being through educational workshops, body treatments, and assorted yoga classes. Smooth exhalations drift from poised students in the studio's two yoga practice areas: a central studio, whose playfully green-hued walls and forgiving cork flooring span 1,000 square feet of space, and a more intimate sister studio, where groups of students gather for smaller classes and workshops. After sessions, students change, shower, or reapply makeup to smudged faces drawn on yoga mats in clean, simple changing rooms. Certified practitioners bustle past, moving to reach deep-seated tension and reduce physical discomfort in acupuncture sessions and massages.4007 Old Seward Hwy, Ste 100Anchorage, AK US

Heber, CA, a small town situated between Calexico, CA and El Centro, CA; it's a town not very hard to remember, as I did two tours of duty with the U.S. Customs Service's Offices of Investigations and Internal Affairs.
The car came speeding out of the Imperial County desert night, and Cynthia Cruz watched as it hurtled toward the intersection just a few hundred feet ahead of her.
"Oh, my God. It's not going to stop!" she said.

All I can say is I feel like the Post Office ripped me off.Posted by Dennes Longoria - February 2, 2012 at 2:19 am
Supposedly the El Cajon California Main Post Office told us in a letter that there was going to be a price hike in the PO box fee, IF you read the letter. But who does that. On the envelope itself it said 6 months for 23 dollars, so you look at that first, then you go in the letter to look for the deadline and that's it. So I made it in before the deadline, but the price hike had been like a week earlier. So I had to pay 38 dollars, while people that mailed them in and just went by the amount that was on the envelope only had to pay 23 dollars.

Went here for our honeymoon. I don't usually expect too much from food at a hotel, especially if there aren't other options available nearby, but we loved all the food at El Silencio for every meal. It was incredible. I think we remarked on every dish we ate. To spend 3-4 days at a place and look forward to every meal is great. Perhaps it is priced a little high but at least it is all delicious.
The other great part was the quality of the rooms. You get your own mini-lodge and I think everyone gets a private jacuzzi and a balcony which overlooks the other side of the forested valley the resort is located in. The rooms are tended to every time you leave for a meal or for a trip, so they obviously coordinate very closely for the maid service to come through. The little hot water bags placed at the foot of the bed in the evening were a nice touch.
The rooms are pretty large and have comfy beds and sofa. There are dark blinds in the lodges so you can close them up and sleep in in complete darkness, which for us meant that we got a full 8-10 hours a night which for me is pretty rare. So relaxing. There's no distractions, no TV, or wifi in the rooms so you really just unwind.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. You can pay in dollars if you want. There is a hummingbird garden on the property as long as trails where you can overlook the surrounding ridgeline or go see 3 different waterfalls after a short hike.
We also did waterfall rappelling nearby and did a trip to a local pulperia where we made tortillas with the matron of the household.
Most places I'm pretty ho-hum about but this place is definitely one of the most relaxing places I've ever visited.

Anna Marie (Bognanno) Ahrens was gathered by the angels she so longed to see and escorted to her heavenly home on June 19, 2011, five days before her 92nd birthday. She was living at Emerald Hills Adult Family Home in Edmonds, WA, near her daughter, Jacqueline. Ann was born June 24, 1919, in Centerville, IA, to Italian immigrant parents, Mario and Maria (Bellomo) Bognanno from Sicily, and was one of six siblings. She was raised and educated in Des Moines, IA, where she attended Broadlawns Hospital School of Nursing and received her RN degree in 1941. On February 8, 1942, Ann married Milo Ahrens, who, shortly after their marriage, joined the Coast Guard to serve in World War II. By the end of the War, they had two daughters, Jacqueline and Marilyn. Three years later a son, Kenneth, was born, and then five years later, they were all thrilled with the birth of a little baby sister, Christine. The family lived in Des Moines, where Ann stayed home with the children and Milo worked for the telephone company, until 1953, when they left their large families behind for a new adventure and moved to Yuma, AZ. There, Ann began again working in the nursing field and Milo continued with the telephone company. Two years later, Milo won a Veteran's drawing to buy a homestead farm in the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project and they moved to Quincy, WA. Ann continued her nursing work in nearby hospitals, and then became steadily employed at the Quincy Valley Medical Clinic for many years. She became a special nurse to many families and gained a reputation for giving the best shots. In 1969, Milo and Ann moved to Cashmere, WA, where they purchased a pear and apple orchard. She then went to work at the Cashmere Medical Clinic until her retirement, and followed retirement with volunteer work at the Cashmere Convalescent Center. Ann was a wonderful Italian cook. She enjoyed canning the orchard's produce. She sewed beautifully and loved crafts, gardening and traveling. She entertained us with a great repertoire of jokes, dramatic story telling, and harmonizing with her lovely alto voice. She loved her family and was a tremendous support and help to them, as well as to many friends. Ann reached out to people in need and shared her home with them. She gave up things for herself so she could give to others. She loved the Lord, served her church, and was a woman of prayer. She leaves a legacy of hard work, service, sacrifice and faith.
Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Milo; her grandson, Loren Jones; her parents; brothers; and sister. She is survived by her son, Kenneth Ahrens and wife, Janice; daughter, Jacqueline McCoy and husband, Claude; daughter, Marilyn Jones and husband, Mike; daughter, Christine Weisel and husband, Bob; grandsons, Nathan and Kevin Ahrens, Ken Jones, Brent Weisel and Frank Fulleton; granddaughters, Liz Porter, Natalie Wynn and Allison Townsend; 22 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
Funeral Mass and Service will be held at Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church in Leavenworth, WA on Thursday, June 23, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. Officiating will be her nephew, Monsignor Frank Bognanno of Des Moines, IA, who once took her to Rome to meet Pope John Paul II. Organist and presenting special music will be her son, Christian songwriter, Ken Ahrens of Cashmere. She will be buried in the Cashmere Cemetery next to her husband, Milo, and family will gather there in the afternoon for a time of last goodbyes. Memorials may be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International, or Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation. These are charities close to Ann's heart, as she has great-grandchildren affected with these diseases and whose lives have been saved at Seattle Children's Hospital. Other suggestions are the Ronald McDonald House and the American Cancer Society. Wards Funeral Home, of Leavenworth, is in care of the arrangements.
