The Lancet Journal reporting that despite efforts to stop diabetes, world rates have only gone up. There are now 347 million people considered diabetic.
The United States and Russia clam 36 million of those diabetics, but China and India beat the U.S. and Russia by 100 million. China and India have 138 million diabetics.
UN World Health Organization officials were not expecting such a high number of diabetics. They had estimated about 285 million, not 347 million that the study came up with.
Type 2 diabetes is the fastest growing form, and is always blamed on being fat and lazy. But there’s a problem with that reasoning: 138 million diabetics in China and India, where not that many people are fat or lazy!
Anyone who understands the diet of most people in China and India, and knows how hard they work, should question the standard reasons for getting type 2 diabetes. There must be something else going on to cause this explosion of diabetes.
