If the diabetes starts
before the age of 15,
:29:04
you lose somewhere between
17 and 27 years of life-span.
:29:10
according to the new research,
:29:12
the direct medical costs
associated with diabetes
:29:15
have doubled.
:29:16
The direct medical costs have
doubled in the past five years,
:29:21
from $44 billion in 1997
to $92 billion in 2002.
:29:28
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
about 20% of the obese children
:29:33
have elevated abnormal
liver function tests,
:29:37
and we have now started a study
:29:39
where we're
biopsying these children
:29:41
to see what their livers
actually look like
:29:43
under the microscope,
:29:45
and half of them have evidence
of scarring of the liver,
:29:48
fibrosis of the liver,
the early stages of cirrhosis.
:29:52
So, when these children
end up being adults,
:29:54
they're going to end up --
:29:56
if they don't change their
eating and exercise habits,
:30:01
are gonna end up
with liver failure
:30:04
and, well,
either transplant or death.
:30:11
Did you want lettuce
and mayonnaise on all of them?
:30:14
I think it's very, very hard
for overweight teenagers
:30:17
because you're always
going to see
:30:18
the thin, pretty,
popular girls,
:30:20
and you can't help
but look at them
:30:22
and think, "I wish I was her,"
or, "I wish I could have that."
:30:26
And it's depressing.
It makes you feel like crap.
:30:30
That's just how it is,
:30:33
and of course
it's hard being a teenager
:30:36
because you see all the girls
in the Cosmo girl
:30:39
are teen people,
and they're all beautiful,
:30:42
and you think, "aren't I
supposed to look like that?"
:30:46
And it's just not realistic.
:30:48
It's not a realistic
way to live.
:30:53
So, without further ado,
let's welcome Jared Fogle.
