“As one thing remains certain: As the West becomes dumber, the East is rising.”

I’ve long thought that the world is headed for severe economic problems, and that it will be China that leads, coming out of it.

Dig around and you may see that the East is catching up with the West with regard to things like obesity and T2D…

Obesity and TTD is rampant in both China and South Africa. Obesity not so much in China due to genetics. Both countries are good examples since they both have had massive nutritional changes essentially within one generation or so.

There is a South African Dr, whose name escapes me at the moment, who was censured for recommending a low carb diet for people with diabetes.
