Prediabetic children already have mitochondrial dysfx. I know most of us slept through biology class, but the mitochondria generate energy for our cells to function. Some billion reaction occur per SECOND, & every one requires energy. Not enough energy & fecal matter hits. EVERY chronic disease, cancer begins here. Seeing this problem in kids is a sign of worse things to come. Stop processed foods. Reduce chemical exposure. Increase fruits, veggies, spices, tea.
