health epidemic. Dexter Paglinawan presented that Coca Cola beverages that we offer still pose
serious health risks even with low calories or no calories per serving. This research is discovered by
one author. Paglinawan is from high up Philippines, City of Pines, Warrior Plus top five percent
Affiliate and Vendor and he also written marketing pieces promoting wellness and beauty product,
guitar manuals, business opportunities. This research was discovered five years ago in 2013. This
research seems objective and strictly lays out information about how Coca Cola without any personal
bias. Even though, the facts are closely related to diabetes than other diseases caused by the intake of
sugar and limited by measuring sugary beverages only. This information has proven to be very
reliable, but it can still be provided with more interpret information to study and the fact of the sugary
beverages on obese and diabetic make it hard for people to quit. I feel that this research would be great
to write about with the information that is provided about how much sugar we consume and how it
Senthilingam, Meera. “Why a 'Western' Diet Could Be Bad for You.” CNN, Cable News Network, 7
Meera Senthilingam writes in her article about ‘Western’ diet is high in sugars, saturated
fats, and animal protein yet in low fiber. She also provided information that potentially disastrous
consequences on health and an increased risk of disease. Meera Senthilingam is a global journalist and
a public health researcher. Meera holds a master’s degree in science communication from Imperial
College Condon and in the control of infections disease from the London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine. She is now a London-based editor for the CNN health and wellness unit.
According to CNN, the world is rapid urbanization developing with more than half of population now
living in cities expected to reach 70% by 2050. Even though this article is 4 years old, the information
that is provided has a very harmful outcome to the world. This work is biased because she presents
more information about the health epidemic. The information presented in this article is featured as a
useful source, this help me answer where the disease come form when we our food that intake in our
body.

mid-January 2018. I don’t believe this would benefit to fit a 3-4 essay, but it does have reliable and
appropriate facts.

This news article discusses how a high percentage of American and Europeans to avoid
GMO products. This is written by Mitch Daniels, 49th Governor of Indiana, he also studies public and
international affairs at Princeton University after his term as a governor he was selected to be a
president of Purdue University. Washington Post is a very reliable website with articles that has news
that was over some years ago and now. This article is unbiased; although it provides facts about
GMOs, but it also has a sticky statistics that involves with our health. This source would benefit my
paper with all the statistic that is provided about the government being involve with healthcare.

geneticist, she’s also a professor in Genome center and the department of plant pathology. Pamela
talks about engineering gene into our conventional rice variety that would help them grow due to
getting flooded by too much water. This was posted in 2015, it could be dated. It was posted on TED,
with the reliable source giving the information about the genetics that is getting put in our food. While
this is some reliable source, I don’t believe it has enough information to benefit mt paper to back up

Bratspies, Rebecca M. “Food, Technology and Hunger.” Law, Culture and the Humanities, vol. 10, no.
This article discusses how GM crops could have us unfold with its latest technological
advance increasing food production to make it more possible to feed the starving masses. Rebecca M.
Bratspies “The Human Right to a Healthy Environment” is from CUNY school of law. This article
was posted by “Law, Culture and the Humanities”, were they give reliable source about food,
technology, and hunger about GM crops increasing food for those currently suffering from food
security. Because the international institutional framework, it is a non-biased and valid source.
Although the information that is giving on GM crops, I don’t believe it would benefit my paper as

is obesity due to what they intake in their food, and how public policy can encourage weight loss and
more. Downey also presents about the thoughts of these corporates wellness programs. Downey was a
director of governmental and legal affairs for the American speech-language-hearing association, and
the professional society for speech-language pathologists and audiologists from 1977 to 1988. The
Washington Post focuses on what obesity and healthcare public vs. private and how it all starts. The
information that is given is accurate even though this tends to have important facts about our
healthcare and our government. This article is eight years old and Downey presents that the
community pass the laws designed to help residents keep their weight in a healthy range. This author
takes this situation very serious because on March 23, 2010 with Sunday’s vote in the House of
Representatives was a long-awaited to healthcare reform legislation to become law. I feel that this
source is very reliable, because he talks about my opinion and my thoughts about obesity and
healthcare in America.
