Health Food Supplements Promise Increased Wellbeing

One of every three people in the world is suffering from Protein- Energy Malnutrition (PEM) or micronutrient malnutrition also known as hidden hunger. Like several nutritionists and doctors, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) have admitted that modern diets should be complemented with vitamins, minerals and other health supplements to tackle ill-health.

Studies and research conducted in almost every country has proven that several nutrients are lost or reduced on consuming fast-food and convenience-food. With the growing awareness on different types of diseases and deficiencies, a marked increase has been recorded in the consumption of functional foods, super foods, fortified foods, dietary supplements and probiotics. Sale of vitamins – C, D, E and B complex, drinkable yoghurts, energy bars, ready-to-eat salads, fortified juices and drinks in addition to bottled mineral water has sky rocketed in the past two years. However all health food supplements do not come with the government’s stamp of approval. The FDA comes into the picture only when a manufacture self-reports an issue with his product or a health concern is raised.

Health Reform Through Prevention Creates Retaliation

Introduction

Current health reform legislation focuses toward pre-existing conditions and capped medical expenses. However, although pre-existing conditions is an undesired company benefit, individuals additionally focus toward health reform prevention. In essence individuals practice safe methods, which will minimize pre-existing conditions. Unfortunately, practicing health reform through prevention translates into retaliation. Hence, when individuals practice health reform prevention in the workplace, health reform retaliation follows resulting from at-will practices. In addition because ineffective labor laws are results from significant research, health reform retaliation appears as a normal outcome.

Thus, the following paper highlights research with experiences from various companies. In essence Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Pymm Thermometer Company (PTC), Nebraska Beef and industry, Remec Defense and Space, Complete Automotive Repairs Services (CARS) Protection Plus, industries hiring undocumented workers, Bay Pines VA Healthcare System, and others contribute to health reform retaliation. Unfortunately, individuals who desire health reform discover rewards with retaliatory disguised out-the-door policies. Thus, as stated by Bernhardt, Ph.D. et al. (2009), We found that when workers complained about their working conditions or tried to organize a union, employers often responded by retaliating against them. Just as important, many workers never made complaints in the first place, often because they feared retaliation by their employer. On the other hand, pre-existing conditions with stratospheric health costs combined with at-will retaliation may appear as an acceptable and litigant’s approval approach.
