After an analysis of prescription data done by pharmacy benefits management company, Medco Health Soultions, results show that the number of young children on prescription drugs for heart burn and other digestive problems jumped about 56 percent in recent years.  Researchers are saying that obesity and overuse might be contribution to the surprising increase.

Digestive disorders are one of the biggest problems in our society.  It has created a billion dollar market in purple pills. 

I have to say the digestive disorders, use of such meds and obesity are all a secondary result of the Standard American Diet (SAD)  Eating such dead foods and non foods like the packaged wonders found in the inner isles of the grocery stores not only our digestive enzymes are being exhausted at such an earlier age.

Most of the medications only treat the symptoms and often times confound the problem.

What can we do about it? start eating healthier meals, live foods with digestive enzymes already on boared and avoid all of the faux food products that are being thrown at us.
