Reply #26: Diabetes, especially in children, is also a symptom of culture [View All]

[arissa]

Bad diet, laziness, lack of physical activity, obesity, chemical contamination of the food supply - these are what causes Type II diabetes in children (which until recently was referred to as ADULT ONSET diabetes, but due to the rapid increase of children getting Type II, is no longer referred to that).

Proper diet, proper diet, proper diet, physical activity, physical activity, physical activity. It simply cannot be repeated enough. These two things alone could solve most of our culture's problems that we like to blame on diseases and genetics (when, strangely, other cultures don't experience them, yet we still live in denial).
