CNN Reportから

今日、アメリカCNNのニュースを見ていたら、アメリカの炭酸飲料の消費についての報告がありました。それによると、近年アメリカ国内で炭酸飲料の消費が非常に伸びており特に若年者の消費が多いと言うことでした。13歳の子供で平均男の子が一日3本、女の子で2本の炭酸飲料を消費している計算になるそうで、とても驚きです。まぁ、ビールをワンケース一晩で飲みきってしまうカナダ人を知っている自分からすれば、その量は「彼らならありえる」と思うのですが、それにしてもです。

レポートの続きでは、350ccの炭酸飲料にはティースプーンにして約8.5杯分の砂糖が含まれているそうなので、若年者の糖尿病の原因になりかねないとしていました。確かに、コーラなどの炭酸飲料は、振って炭酸を抜いてしまうととても甘くて飲めたものではありません。糖尿病もさることながらこれだけ砂糖を摂取すれば、虫歯になりやすいことは明白です。それでも不思議なことに日本に比べアメリカは砂糖の消費量で3倍も消費しているにもかかわらず、虫歯が1/3しかないのは何故でしょう?

アメリカをはじめ先進諸国では上水道のフッ素添加が常識的に行われていますし、100%の歯磨き剤にフッ素が添加されています。日本では歯磨き剤にフッ素が添加され始めたのは十数年前からだと記憶しています。砂糖に代わるキシリトールなどの代用甘味料も最近になって一般化したほどで、やはり立ち遅れているとしか言えません。もちろん虫歯は色々な原因が絡み合って起こる疾患なので原因を一つに決めつけることは危険ですが、少なくとも砂糖の消費量だけでないことは確かで、まだまだ遅れている日本の虫歯予防の現状を改善するには、啓発活動を含め歯科医のなさなくてはならない役割はまだまだ残っていると思います。

虫歯の原因やキシリトールについて「歯科衛生士のひとくちメモ」にもすこしづつ記事を書いていきますので参考にしてください。

IFLH announces Senator David Cain has joined its Board of Directors!!

IFLH volume trading is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement. The value of this
stock appears poised for growth! This one should not remain on the ground floor for long.

BREAKING NEWS!!
InterFinancial Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: IFLH - News) announced that they have added
David Cain to their board of directors. David Cain is currently the Chairman of the advisory
board to TTI (Texas Transportation Institute). Senator Cain represented Senate District 2 for
eight years in the Texas Senate and Chaired the Senate State Affairs Subcommittee on
Transportation and served nine terms in the Texas House of Representatives for District 107.

During his twelve years as Chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, Senator Cain�s
efforts on behalf of the people of Texas have been widely recognized. He was named to Texas
Monthly Magazine�s list of Ten Best Legislators, the Dallas Morning News said he was one of
the outstanding legislators of the 73rd session, and the Texas Department of Transportation
awarded him the Russell H. Perry Award in 1995 for his efforts to gain public awareness of
the need for and benefits of transportation facilities in the State of Texas.

Jeffrey C. Bruteyn, Managing Director, stated, We at InterFinancial are proud to have such a
widely recognized Senator join our board and oversee out automotive lending division. His
affiliations and connections to the automotive industry will be invaluable to our company.
Senator Cain will be instrumental in expediting our approval to use a government issued Seller
Finance License.

Seller Finance Licenses are very difficult to obtain and are usually reserved for the Big Boys
with heavy lobbyists. These licenses are highly coveted because it allows the finance company
to collect the entire down payment, instead of paying a portion of it to the taxing authority.
This dramatically helps a finance company�s bottom line if the buyer defaults on the loan.

With the new GPS tracking systems being installed on every car to dramatically improve
repossessions and with Senator Cain on the Board of Directors, InterFinancial Holdings
is ready to take their business to the next level.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little known Companies
That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens. This stock will not be a Secret for long.
Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
GO IFLH!
