Americans are now the shortest population in the industrialized world...a growing problem as we have problems growing

[Terminator]

June 19, 2007 - New research shows that Americans are coming up short.

In fact, we are the shortest population in the industrialized world.
Since the colonial times, Americans were the tallest people in the world.

The Netherlands is now the world's tallest country.

In Denmark., men average 6 feet, while American men average 5'10.

Researchers say the Dutch health care system might take better care of children when they are young.

That's when most growing takes place.

Another reason might be poor diet in the US.

Overeating can cause children to produce too much growth hormone too early and stop growing at a younger age.

In fact, we are the shortest population in the industrialized world.

I would think the Japanese would have us beat.
