21 Reasons American children fat
12 Solutions
Why were American children the world's fattest while our trees are skinny?
But the tide is turning. Americans
are beginning to lose weight despite:
1. The dairy lobby is federally subsidized.. 1/4 billion annually.. to promote
milk designed to make a calf into a 1000 pound animal in a few months.
This food was not designed for human beings.
http://www.notmilk.com
The Swiss owned Nestle's conglomerate promotes
cows' milk for human babies.
2. Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac and other
tv advertised and heavily marketed
antidepressants cause long term
weight gain. Those
not taking prescription drugs are subjected to
these compounds which contaminate the water supply from the urine of those programmed to take the drugs.
Tranquilizers like valium,
antiinflammatories like prednisone and antiseizure medications
also cause long term obesity.
http://www.netnutritionist.com/fa12.htm
3. The food advertised is high animal protein and animal fat
food.. which isocaloric studies by Mervyn Hardinge MD (while at Harvard
before he like Mad Cow discoverer Prusiner left that institution because
of its meat investments)
indicate will make a nonvegetarian
23 lbs. heavier than a vegan after
3 months given the same number of daily calories.
http://www.pcrm.org
Conversely, the Atkins and other
high animal protein diets cause
a sudden weight loss. Then
participants reach a plateau and
cannot lose further weight. Atkins
died weighing around 260 pounds
after a cerebral stroke which
caused his fall.
4. parents who allow a lifestyle
of tv and internet without exercise
sunlight and fresh air
5. some school systems still have
Coke, Pepsi and other high sugar
colas in vending machines
http://fruitarians.blogspot.com
6. USDA dominated school lunch programs promote
trash animal products, with little
in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables.
http://www.meatout.org
7. The WIC program (Women Infant
Children of the animal agribusiness
dominated USDA) is another dairy subsidy
giving the poor obesity engendering
dairy products.
http://www.vrg.org
8. Convenience stores and gas stations sell junk cola, potato and corn
chips, candy bars, cows' milk and no fruit and vegetables.
http://www.goveg.com
9. Small farmers and their markets are forced out of business by
chain stores with the help of the USDA.
10. The Food Network, The Rachael Ray
Show, and other
tv shows for their multi tirllion dollar
meat fish and dairy agribusiness
clients promote cooking with
carcinogenic, stroke engendering
high fat foods. Rachael Ray would
throw bacon on icecream if she
could as she shills for NY butchers.
http://www.vegweb.com
11.
The Swedish dairy lobby of Minnesota
and Wisconsin, represented by
the Diebold installed Senator Coleman as
well as Feingold and Kohl and with the constant ads of Minnesota
"Public" Radio
promotes a racist disregard for the
natural milk intolerance of Africans,
Asians and other cultures. In addition, a Vermont tv stations has
a weekly ice cream promotion show, despite the correlation of
hormone containing icecream to prostate, uterine, cervical, and
breast cancer.
http://www.vegsource.com/klaper
http://www.veganoutreach.org
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/votefraud.html
12. Despite objections from the
European Union, American agribusiness
has forced its way in giving
female hormones and water retainers
to animals, with the dosage upped
before slaughter. These hormones
and water retention chemicals
continue to act in humans, causing
weight gain and planting cancer
seeds.
13, Decadent gorging on the murdered
causes waste, obesity, animal agony,
and in some cases choking
http://www.nathansfamous.com/nathans/contest/
14. Alcohol is fattening and causes
teen and other deaths, cirrhosis
of the liver, busted families,
domestic battering etc. yet Coors,
funder of the warpromoting Heritage
Foundation, also advertises alcohol
on radio
as early as 11 am on weekdays
15. The cultures in which people
absorb the most sunlight tend
to be the most slender. The energy
of the sun replaces the inferior
energy of food. It comes in numberless
frequencies, each body taking
what he or she likes. Americans do
not stay in the sun as much as many
other cultures.
16.
In addition Americans adopted the
English fatmaking breakfast, high
in meat and dairy, not the
French breakfast. France has
a low average weight.
17.
Americans are subjected to more food ads than any other people.. Fast
food ads have accounted for over 100 billion in advertising revenue.
A Canadian study reports that tv watchers eat more than non tv watchers.
http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/070602/x060202A.html
http://www.mcspotlight.org
18. We may be addicted to coffee,
but it is for many an appetite
stimulant
19.
Corporations, grocery chains,
and a very
strong restaurant association
have saturated many foods with
gratuitous fattening and toxic
animal products.
Farmers' associations, 4H clubs, Oscar Mayer
program children. School curricula are sometimes created
by the dairy lobby. School lunches are animal product laden.
20. Judge Holwell and other
unelected judges have sided
with the fast food industry
in rulings on calorie postings,
liability of fast food chains for fat etc
21. A liver filled with poisonous molecules such
as insecticide, preservative, hormone and other residues
is less able to burn fat.
TRUTHFUL CLICHES FOR WEIGHT LOSS
1. exercise more
2. eat fewer calories (a journey
of a 1000 miles begins with
a single abstention from biting)
3. eat more fruits and vegetables
(vegans weigh 23 lbs less than
nonvegetarians and 11 lbs
less than vegetarians after 3 months
in isocaloric studies) www.pcrm.org
4. eat more uncooked food (more fiber
... more food eliminated)
5. when faced with a mental stimulus
to eat...
some go out and walk
6 others repeat their favorite one of
the infinite names of God
7. still others believe the illusion
of hunger is thirst.. and drink
much water
http://www.watercure2.org/
8. Salt retains water in the body,
adding to weight. Lemon juice
dressings are one salt substitute.
9. Caffein stimulates the appetite
unnecessarily.
10. Shop when not hungry.
11. keep a log of what is eaten
and the estimated calories
12. Community is necessary.
Overeaters often isolate themselves.
http://engforum.pravda.ru/showthread... /> did=196751
SOLUTIONS BESIDES GIVING CHILDREN A VEGAN DIET
1. Alcohol and cigarette ads have been banned on tv. Animal flesh
and products cause more deaths annually than tobacco, alcohol, war,
traffic deaths combined. It's time to ban tv, radio, and billboard advertising
of meat, dairy and fish which cause cancer, heart disease, stroke,
food poisoning, kidney dysfunction, arthritis etc.
2. Count calories. Set a daily limit. Keep a log of calories eaten.
3. Be informed about the greedy pharmaceutical, germ ridden hospital,
and multitrillion dollar animal agribusiness connections of the CDC
which through Atlanta's prosecutor persecutor Boring has
crucified a vegan couple while ignoring the millions of deaths
annually from animal products.
OTHER PROBLEMS WITH DAIRY
1. American agribusiness allow
carcinogenic female hormones made
by Merck and other companies to
be given to cows and other animals.
The European Union banned these
hormones because of their known
cancer causing properties, as the
US government long ago banned
diethylstilbestrol. However multitrillion
dollar animal abusers took the EU
to the WTO, a servant of moneyed
interests, which ruled against
people's health.
2. Dairy products cause a mucus
lining of the respiratory tract, creating
colds, flu, etc.
3. Salmonella, brucellosis are 2
of thousands of diseases from animal
products.
4. Food poisoning: 97% of all
food poisoning fatalities are animal
product related, reported Knight
Ridder.
http://www.worldanimalnet.org
Why are our trees skinny?
The regime dominated Forest Service
has caused the logging in some
places 3! times of the people's trees.
SOLUTIONS
Cows' milk is worst for the animals,
humans and earth. Soymilk is
better but is still a factor in
deforestation. Almond milk, coconut
milk etc. are best for animals, humans,
earth.

TREATMENT OF COWS IN DAIRY FARMS AND FACTORY FARMS
In Chino California
6500 cows
suffocated as they
sank into the mud
In North Dakota untold
numbers froze and
suffocated in
20 foot high snow drifts.
In southern Ohio
a cow slipped on mud.. her back legs
went both ways.. she was split up
the middle and left there over
several days to die
In Maryland cows
are electroshocked away
from their babies.. stolen
to be butchered as veal
In Vermont cows have
infection encrusted udders
as they bleed from
milking machines
In Kentucky, a downed
cow was kicked repeatedly
and pulled off the truck
with ropes
In West Virginia, a truck
filled with cows was in
an accident. 75 cows
spilled down the mountainside.
In Colorado, the
winter wind rips through
the slats at 81 mph
as the
slaughterhouse bound animals
huddle iin trucks speeding
through mountain passes.
In Texas, trains full
of cowssuffocating from
heat.. have downers
.. 4 d animals..
dead dying diseased
debilitated.
At New York's "stock"
exchange they
hide the truth
of Mad Cow
to try to protect
the Mad Cow Dow
In Kansas untold
millions of cows have
frozen in blizzards
In Wisconsin, after
a lifetime of giving
a lifetime of slavery
exhausted old "milk" cows
are sent to slaughter
for fast food chain hamburgs.
In Minnesota, 'dairy' cows
are given food (not feed..
a chauvinist term) with
animal products in it..
causing Mad Milk.
In Oklahoma cows'
ears are stapled with numbers
In Wyoming, bulls
are castrated
In Iowa the smoke
from the branding irons
of cows rises to God
and asks for mercy
In the land around
Yakima Washington
.. lived a 4 year old
little girl.. what
was the name of this
little "mad cow"?
What have been the names
of the billions of cows
who have gone to their deaths
terrified in Illinois?
In Pennsylvania pharmaceutical
labs calves were slashed..
and smallpox sprayed
on their gashes
in a few weeks the gashers
come back
and plane off the scab.. and grind it into powder..
powder which contained BLV or bovine leukemia virus
.. the same disease as HTLV except in a different species
In Calgary, little calves
are slammed to the ground
their necks and legs breaking
in a rodeo called the Calgary
Stampede
In every state in the union
cows are electroshocked,
are bleeding, are kicked,
are pulled off trucks
are pulled from their babies

What Are You Giving Your Children, Husbands, Wives, Parents?
II DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH MEAT CONSUMPTION
There are tens of thousands of diseases caused by the consumption of
the flesh of animals. The USDA listed slightly over 100 in the early
part of the 20th Century, but as knowledge has increased and toxic
pollutants have saturated the environment, the number has increased.
PERITONITIS When George Wallace was shot, he never completely healed
from peritonitis caused by the bullet ripping through his intestinal
tract after he had just eaten a hamburger. The bullet carried colon
bacteria throughout the body.
GANGRENE The downed cows passed into the human meat supply by
the corrupt USDA are often gangrenous.
PUTREFACTION: Like any corpse, animal flesh (meat) deteriorates after
death. Even when the cadaver is frozen, creiophilic bacteria
multiply. (see below) The inability of the body efficiently to digest
animal flesh is a cause of appendicitis. When the animal flesh is
heated, thermophilic bacteria develop. Dr John Harvey Kellogg found
that billions of ecoli
bacteria multiply in the body after the animal is dead a few hours.
The phrase ecoli-contaminated is redundant since all animal flesh is
contaminated by ecoli or colon bacteria.
GELATIN a name for the ground up bones of animals.. which
can contain Mad Cow frequent brand name Jello
MAD COW MAD PIG MAD CHICKEN MAD FISH MAD DEER MAD ELK
MAD MILK ETC Dr Stanley Prusiner went to the
University of California from Harvard to receive more priority for
his prion work, which won a Nobel Prize. Mad Cow proteins can
incubate for 50 years said the World Health Organization's
communicable disease division on the CBC. (Gelatin containing Mad Cow
is found in jello, gelcaps, soaps, toothpastes, soups etc. Vegans are
catheterized much more seldom than nonvegans. However if by chance a
vegan is unconscious and catheterized against her will, often the
gels used against her will are animal derived.
The 5th Circuit has just upheld Howard Lyman after Amarillo cattlemen
sued him. The Court held the truth is not libelous.
http://www.madcowboy.com
HEPATITIS The second cause of hepatitis is the consumption
of coprophagous (waste-eating) shellfish (lobsters, clams,
shrimp etc.) Raw sewage is dumped into the Atlantic and Pacific from
several cities. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver.
Dick Gregory: eating liver is like eating the filter from a car.
. THE PRIONS cause cancer. Prion diseases include CJD, Creutzfeld-
Jacob
Disease, GSS Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome, FFI, Fatal
Familial Insomnia,
Kuru, a disease cannibals contract from eating human brains, (as
animals
contract Mad Cow, Mad Deer and other diseases from being fed other
animals' parts),
Alpers Sydrome
STARVATION from the most inefficient food production system of all (100 to 1000
lbs. an acre.. in comparison to 450,000 lbs an acre for fruit and nut tree gifts
http://spot.acorn.net/fruitarian
GLOBAL HEATING DROUGHT FLOOD The UN, the British government, Indian scientists have
published many studies pointing to animal agriculture as one of the 5 major
causes of the deforestation which is heating and freezing the world.
http://stopmowing.blogspot.com
ENERGY WASTE A lb. of meat takes over 81 times the production energy of a lb of
fruit. It is possible to make a hole with the forefinger in the ground, put in a peach or
apple or almond seed, and come back in a few years to pick up the presents given
by the sun and rain, mother earth and seed.

WHAT'S IN A HOT DOG .. OR SAUSAGE
Jay Leno: They put pig uteri in
those hotdogs.
Why is red dye in hot dogs?
to cover up rotting brown and
grey and the
green of gangrene
AP.. for Animal Protein which becomes
the Amyloid Plaque of senility
while female hormones in meat
make reduced sperm and sterility.
Buns are hot dog cadaver coffins
Antibiotic resistance from hiding
cow coughin
Adrenalin from mammals' frozen
fright..
as most are unable to escape
knives in flight
-O Anna Niemus-
Female Hormones Why? So the animals will gain waterweight before being butchered.. and make more profit.These hormones are banned in Europe because they cause prostate, uterine ovarian cervical and breast cancers.
Sodium Nitrate: red dye no. 2 forms with animal proteins in the stomach to make carcinogenic nitrosamines.
Put in hotdogs to cover the brown, the grey, the green of rotting flesh and
of the intestines.
http://www.ivu.org/recipes
.http://www.meatout.org
What Are Natural Casings? Some hotdogs come with an NC on the package, standing for natural casings. Natural casings are the actual intestinal links of the butchered animal, and are like everything else saturated with ecoli or colon bacteria. Creiophilic bacteria, cold loving, survives freezer temperatures. Thermophilic bacteria, heat loving, can survive a 300 degree oven for several hours. Microwaving
flesh at much higher temperatures
creates carcinogens even more dangerous.
http://www.pcrm.org
Lips Snouts Ground Up Hooves Eyelashes Tails Mad Cow and Mad Pig Spinal Cords and brain tissue, ground up uteri, eyeballs, intestinal mucosa,
and other slop from Slaughterhouse Floor When profiteers say some hot dogs have everything but the squeal,
(or shrieks) they can be taken literally. Howard Lyman got a spinal tumor from eating the meat of animals on his 4th generation Montana cattle farm. He promised God that if he recovered (he was told he would never walk again) he would end ranching. He began to tell the world about the animals fed to other animals.When he described this on Oprah Winfrey's show, they were both sued by Amarillo cattlemen. The 5th Circuit recently upheld them, saying the truth is not libelous.George Bush
recipient of Amarillo and other feedlot money, refused to answer questions about this case when running unsuccessfully to win a majority of US votes in 2000. http://www.madcowboy.com
Oh I'd Love to Be An Oscar Mayer Wiener is a lie by ad execs. In reality 1100 pigs an hour were butchered in Madison Wisconsin. The sound they make would rend any heart which is why slaughterhouses have the most turnover of any occupation. The kicking terrified animals make slaughterhouse and deep fishing the 2 most dangerous occupations. Oscar Mayer with its Oscar Mobile is guilty of criminal child endangering as it promotes leukemia and food poisoning engendering food
and helps make American children
the fattest in the world. The Minnesota Dept of Health says to give a child rare meat is like driving your child 95 mph down a road.
http://www.menzelphoto.com/gallery/big/agriculture9.htm (from an Iowa Oscar Mayer abbatoir)
Ralph Nader who is not yet a vegetarian.. said he would never
eat a hot dog and wrote about why.
A meatcutter in upstate NY said although he was not a vegetarian
he would never eat coldcuts or hot dogs.
George Bernard Shaw once asked a man with a meatless plate next to him if he was like Shaw a vegetarian. The man replied.. I wasn't til I became a meat inspector.

PLEASE POLYPOST:
http://www.pcrm.org (1000 vegan MD's)
WHAT'S IN A BURGER? BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS (AS WELL AS BIOTERRORISM)
Blood, trioxypurine, adrenalin, cholesterol, prions, fecal matter, colon bacteria, toxoplasmosis, trichinosis, insecticides, female hormones, antibiotics, mercury, arsenic, chromium, polychlorinated biphenols, no vitamin C, no natural bulk, senility, sterility, cancer, anthrax, lead, Mad Cow, Mad Deer, impotence, fly dung, smallpox, tularemia, Alzheimer's, alcoholism, addiction
I INTRINSIC IN ALL ANIMAL FLESH
. THE BLOOD is called juice after its chemical nature changes from cooking.
. SWEAT OR PRE URINE is uric acid or trixoypurine.. more addictive than caffein (dioxypurine). It is the primary cause of arthritis and rigidity as it crystallizes into needles jabbing the joints. Uric acid would have been eliminated by the animal's muscle cells had she not been butchered. Carnivores have 5 times the kidney size per pound of body weight.
. TEARS THE ADRENALIN secreted by terrorized animals survives
cooking.. since it is a protein enzyme.. only some of whose links are broken.. it is the ingestion of anger, terror, and agony. Such meat adrenalin has been correlated to violence. A recent Maryland prison study reported reduced violence in those eating vegetables. Ingesting meat causes the body to be a constant state of unnatural alert.
http://www.egroups.com/messages/teachnonviolence
. THE FECES poured out by terrorized animals has traces of ecoli or colon bacteria.. not only their own waste but that of other cows on which they often slip as they are being skinned alive at Iowa Beef Processors or other sites. Dr. John Harvy Kellogg, affiliated in the last century with Kellogg cereals found that after a few hours ecoli (colon or intestinal bacteria) can multiply into the billions. As trillions of gallons of fecal matter are dumped into the waterways, ecoli or colon bacteria based infections are coming to vegetarians as well as nonvegetarians.
SENILITY
. ALzheimer's Disease is caused by ALcohol, cooking with ALuminum, and the prions in ALlanimal protein.
. The animal fat in meat clogs cerebral arteries.
(Wm Shakespeare in "Twelfth Night": "He is a heavy eater of beef. Methinks it doth harm to his wit." )
STERILITY
Male children of meateating mothers have fewer sperm. The kind
shall inherit the earth.
. NO VITAMIN C
C is in no animal products.. It speeds up the flow of brain snyapse
messages and promotes connective tissue in the skin, said two time
Nobel Laureaute Linus Pauling, who
defined an orthomolecule as a molecule in fruit. C is a toxin bouncer.
.THE ANIMAL FAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS
Animal fat clogs the arteries causing heart attacks and strokes,
which are the single major cause of death in the world. Meat deaths
per year outdo alcohol, tobacco, and accidents combined. It is not
just the animal fat in meat which causes this, but the uric acid
(trioxypurine) is an unnatural stimulant, as is the adrenalin enzyme.
Adrenalin mobilizes the body for fight or flight. Meateating puts the
body in a constant state of stress.
CANCER
Countries with the highest meat consumption have the highest rates of
intestinal cancer. Canada, Australia, the US, Argentina, and Chile
are some of these. Meat has no natural
bulk and causes a constipation which leads to total blockage.
OVERWEIGHT: Dr Mervyn Hardinge working at an Ivy League university
found that vegans weigh 23 lbs. less than nonvegetarians while dairy
vegetarians weigh 12 lbs. less. Fruitarians weighed least. In the 3
month study, the groups were
all given the same number of calories per day. The increased bulk and
lack of constipating flesh in vegetarian and vegan diets is a factor.
. ANTHRAX, SMALLPOX (COW POX), TULAREMIA and other forms of
bioterrorism all originate in the consumption of animal flesh or
contact with their skins (hides, leather making, wool sorters'
disease) The USDA which protects the multi trillion dollar
meat industry while attempting to prevent diversity in fruit seeds
from entering the country attributes only 700 deaths in animals to
anthrax last year (500 in Texas) while virtually only NBC reported
the anthrax in November 2001 in 21 California cows.
SONGLESSNESS
Susan Miller, voice specialist with Georgetown Univ Hosp (a
vivisecting institution) has spoken of the rigidity of vocal chords
caused by dioxypurine (caffeine). Trioxypurine (uric acid in meat) is
even more damaging.
REDUCED LIFE EXPECTANCY
An environmental magazine reported in Jan of 73 that the longest
lived people in the world were the 3 vegetarian tribes: Villcabamba
of Ecuador, Hunzas of Tibet & Pakistan and Azerbaijans or Abkhasians
of the Caucusus. In June of 2002 NPR reported Abkhasians
118 years old, on a vegetarian diet. All have many centenarians.
Conversely the shortest lived
people are Inuit males subsisting primarily on animal flesh and fat
and fish flesh.
There are polychlorinated biphenols even in the livers of polar
bears. The country with the most vegetarians in percentage and
numbers is India. The United Kingdom, Thailand and Israel
have higher than average percentage of vegetarians.
AMYLOID PLAQUE a biproduct of meateating correlated to ALzheimer's
Disease as are ALcohol and cooking with ALuminum
CARCINOGENS METHYLCHOLANTHRENE AND MALANALDEHYDE
are created when animal flesh is heated above 300 degrees, but
below 300 degrees trichinella worms in pig flesh and myriad
food poisoning, colon bacteria and other bacteria await.

The Relationship between Weight Gain and Medications for Depression and Seizures
by Gay Riley, MS, RD, CCN
www.NetNutritionist.com/fa12.htm
Are Americans now fatter than any other nation on the planet? This topic has been discussed, debated, and researched for the past 35 years. Americans continue to gain weight despite the billions of dollars that they spend annually on diets and diet foods. It is common knowledge that sedentary lifestyles, excessive consumption, and obsessive dieting are major factors in this trend.
What else could be contributing to the skyrocketing obesity epidemic in the United States? Could the medications that some Americans take be a contributing factor in the obesity problem?
In the past decade, there has been an increase in the development and use of prescription medication to treat depression, seizures, and sleep disorders. Recently, we have also seen a rise in television, newspaper, and magazine advertisements for prescription medications led by the marketing of antidepressants, such as Prozac.
In 1999 Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil were among the top 15 prescription medications dispensed in the US. Of the 124 billion dollars generated by the US prescription sales market, these three antidepressants were listed in the top 10 revenue-producing medications. Selective Seretonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), Serotonin/Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRIs), and antipsychotics were listed in the top 6 money makers of the 20 leading prescription products ranked by US pharmaceutical industry sales.
Current studies suggest that long-term use of SSRIs, Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil is associated with weight gain. The purpose of this article is to list some of the popular psychotropic and seizure disorder medications on the market today and discuss the relationship, if any, these medications may have with body weight changes. A review of several studies regarding exercise and depression will also be reviewed.
The information presented in this article is not intended to discourage, endorse, or recommend either treatment for depression or any of the products reviewed. It is intended solely as a review of the available information regarding weight changes associated with the products listed. As always, consult your physician or medical professional regarding any questions or medical conditions.
Many people are not aware that weight gain is one of the most common side effects associated with many antidepressants prescribed today. In fact, medications such as Fluoxetine (Prozac®) and Buproprion HCL (Wellbutrin®) have actually been marketed for obesity treatment.
Antidepressants can affect weight in several ways:
* They may increase or decrease basal metabolic rate without changing caloric intake.
* They may affect hormonal changes and increase appetite.
Unexpected weight gain can increase the difficulties associated with psychiatric and seizure disorders by further aggravating mood instability and low self-esteem.
The following paragraphs contain brief descriptions of several classes of psychotropic and seizure disorder medications.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs)
SSRIs comprise one of the major classes of antidepressants currently being prescribed by primary care physicians. At first, SSRIs were thought to be associated with weight loss and reduced appetite. For a while, they were even marketed as anti-obesity drugs. It is now known that long-term use of SSRIs is associated with weight gain.
The reason that SSRIs contribute to weight gain is not known. Although it was a widely held belief that drugs that increase serotonin output also decrease hunger, this does not seem to be the case. Patients using SSRIs often report symptoms of hypoglycemia (weakness, dizziness, frequent hunger, and headaches) when they do not eat. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may indicate hyperinsulinemia (elevation of insulin in the blood).
The five most common SSRIs currently prescribed in the United States today are as follows:
* Citalopram (Celexa®)
* Fluoxetine (Prozac®)
* Fluvoxamine (Luvox®)
* Paroxetine (Paxil®)
* Sertraline (Zoloft®)
Paroxetine (Paxil®) appears to have the most significant impact on weight gain of all of the SSRIs. Studies show that patients using Paxil experience an increase in breast size as well as weight gain and increased serum prolactin. One case report linked cravings for carbohydrates with Citalopram (Celexa®) while other studies showed an average weight gain over time of 15-20 pounds with Sertraline (Zoloft), Fluoxetine (Prozac®), and Citalopram (Celexa®).
However, SSRIs cause less weight gain, fewer anticholinergic symptoms, and less toxic adverse effects than tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). These findings have led to the increase in SSRI prescriptions by psychiatrists and primary care providers. Primary care providers are not likely to be familiar with the difference between the various SSRIs relative to their possible weight gain side effects.
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs)
TCAs were the most commonly prescribed antidepressants before SSRIs became widely available. Tricyclic antidepressants are often used to treat sleep disorders and to help patients manage pain. Most physicians are aware that TCAs can contribute significantly to weight gain.
Weight gain and other side effects vary from one TCA to another as well as from one patient to another. Many drugs in this class induce slowing of the metabolism and carbohydrate cravings. Factors more clearly understood involve histamine and alpha 1 receptor blocking actions. Appetite stimulation and weight gain make it extremely difficult for the diabetic using a TCA to control blood sugar.
TCAs include the following:
* Amitriptyline (Elavil®)
* Amoxapine (Asendin®)
* Clomipramine (Anafranil®)
* Desipramine (Norepramine®, Pertofrane®)
* Doxepin (Adapin®, Sinequan®)
* Imipramine (Janimine®, Tofranil®)
* Nortriptyline (Aventyl®, Pamelor®)
* Protriptyline (Vivactil®)
* Trimipramine (Rhotramine®, Surmontil®)
Weight gain with TCAs is dose dependent and relative to the length of therapy.
The greatest weight gain among TCA patients has been observed with those using either amitriptyline (Elavil®) or imipramine (Janimine®, Tofranil ®).
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs)
There are two categories of MAOIs: nonselective, irreversible MAOIs and reversible inhibitors of monoamine oxidase type A (RIMAs). The nonselective irreversible MAOIs cause weight gain similar to TCAs while the newer, selective MAOIs do not appear to have any effect on body weight.
There is not much information available on the current use of MAOIs in clinical practice because they have some dangerous side effects and are used less frequently than other antidepressants.
Nonselective, irreversible MAOIs include the following:
* Isocarboxazid (Marplan®)
* Phenelzine (Nardil®)
* Tranylcypromine (Parnate®)
* Selective reversible RIMAs include the following:
* Moclobemide (Manerix®)
* Toloxatone (Humoryl®)
Other Antidepressants
Other antidepressants that do not fall strictly under the classifications of SSRIs, TCAs, or MAOIs include the following:
* Buproprion HCL (Wellbutrin®)
* Mitrazapine (Remeron®)
* Nefazadone (Serzone®)
* Trazadone (Desyrel®)
* Venlafaxine (Effexor®)
Venlafaxine (Effexor®) has been shown to cause weight gain but not as severe as has been reported with the SSRIs paroxetine (Paxil®), fuoxetine (Prozac®), and sertraline (Zoloft®).
Mitrazapine (Remeron®) has been associated with significant weight gain, possibly secondary to interactions with the histamine (H1) receptor. It is not associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, sexual dysfunction, or increased heart rate, as seen with the SSRIs.
Trazadone (Desyrel®) is an antidepressant with sedative properties that is frequently used as a sleep aid as well as treatment for depression. It appears to cause less weight gain than amitriptyline (Elavil®) but more than buproprion HCL (Wellbutrin®).
There is currently no information available relating Nefazadone (Serzone®) to increased appetite or weight gain.
Buproprion HCL (Wellbutrin®) has not been associated with weight gain and is commonly used with some success in smoking cessation.
Anticonvulsants/Mood Stabilizers
These drugs were initially used only for seizure disorders. The following anticonvulsants are now prescribed frequently in the treatment of bipolar disorder and other selected forms of depression:
* Carbamazepine (Tegretol®)
* Divalproex (Depakote®)
* Gabapentin (Neurontin®)
* Lamotrigine (Lamictal®)
* Topiramate (Topamax®)
Anticonvulsants tend to cause hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin in the blood) and increased appetite leading to weight gain. Hyperinsulinemia also results in increased testosterone, which causes a risk to women on these medications for development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (POS). Polycystic ovary syndrome can cause weight gain, male pattern baldness, increased facial hair, skin tags, acne, infertility, high blood pressure, abnormal lipid levels, and heart disease.
Seizure disorder studies showed that patients taking anticonvulsants who had either a normal or below normal body mass index had the most severe weight gain.
Conventional Mood Stabilizers
Mood stabilizers were commonly used before anticonvulsants were developed for the treatment of bipolar disorder. Mood stabilizers commonly prescribed consisted primarily of the following:
* Lithium (Cibalith-S®, Duralith®,
* Ekalith®, Eskalith CR®, Lithane®,
* Lithobid®, Lithonate®, Lithotabs®)
Typically, one-third to two-thirds of the patients treated with Lithium gain weight. Of those, 25 percent gain enough weight to be classified as obese. Weight gain is dose dependent, but low doses of lithium (less than .8 mm/L) are often not therapeutic: therefore, low-dose lithium is usually not an alternative.
Antipsychotics
One of the most common reasons for noncompliance and discontinued use of antipsychotic medication is weight gain. The agent believed to be responsible for the increased food intake of patients taking antipsychotics is the serotonin blocker.
Conventional anti-psychotics include the following:
* Haloperidol (Haldol®, Peridol®)
* Molindone (Moban®)
* Thioridazine (Apo-Thioridazine®, Mellaril®, Novo-Ridazine®, PMS-Thioridazine®)
* Newer antipsychotics, classified as atypical antipsychotics, include the following:
* Clozapine (Clozaril®)
* Olanzapine (Zyprexa®)
* Quetiapine (Seroquel®)
* Risperidone (Risperdal®)
* Sertindole (Serlect®)
* Ziprasidone (Seldox®)
Haloperidol (Haldol®, Peridol®) is a conventional antipsychotic with a lower incidence of weight gain than the newer agents clozapine (Clozaril®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), and sertindole (Serlect®).
A retrospective study showed that clozapine (Clozaril®) and olanzapine (Zyprexa®) had the greatest associated weight gain, followed by intermediate weight gain with risperidone (Risperdal®).
