I was trying to link a huge study done in China in 2007 about diabetes becoming more prevalent in the Chinese population. It was an article published in The New England Journal of Medicine which most people hold up as the finest in printing valid medical research.

I just read it. I think it's due to all the American fast food restaurants that infiltrated Asia.........just like we all enjoy Chinese takeout, they have really accepted the western diet, for good or ill........
We all know the junk that is in these fast food products, but sometimes when traveling, even we stop at the golden arches to stretch, etc.
Many years ago we had a lightbulb moment when we saw the movie KING CORN.......high fructose corn syrup IS NOW IN EVERYTHING.......where it never used to be..........you can rent it from Netflix or search for it on Direct TV if you have satellite....
Foods prepared from scratch are still the best for everyone's health.
Processed foods are loaded with unnatural "stuff".
Plot Summary for
King Corn (2007)
King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat-and how we farm
