@luisvazquez66333 years ago Hello i' m mexican and also living in mexico since i was born.
just want to add what is obvious to my naked eye and have very little to do 1) soda consumption skyrocketed 30 years ago and keeps growing specially among youngsters
2) when they grow and get worried about their health they fall into thenonsense
so turn down traditional mexican food which is rich in saturated-fat in favor of boxed cereals and skim milk,
also switch sodas forjuices (industrial or organic, both spikes insulin)
3) when all this fails (sure it will) then go to medical drs. And get their prescriptions . The rest is history. ...Expand 14

@leolopez77623 years ago Thank you sten! I felt compelled to write additional intelligence info. About mexican diet. Myself being from mxico i may add these factors to your kick 1. Massive consumption of processed wheat products and " pan de dulce" introduced by the spanish.
2. Massive consumption of any sorts of sweet fruits all year around (not available in the past, isn' t it?
3. Daily intake of home made flavored water made of sweet fruits and with a monstrous additional refined sugar cane amount on it to " swetten it up" haha
4. Drastic reduction (+80% i would say) of green leaf vegetables within two generation time horizon.
5. Cow milk consumption and all other derived processed milk products
5. Alcohol drinks
6. Substitution of good old pork lard, butter and beef lard by refined " seed oils"
now immagine adding a top all corn gmo' s, sodas and lack of exercise you mentioned!
just by eliminating wheat, sugar, milk, refined oiis, alcohols and going keto i' ve lost 10kg of basically inflammation in 2 year period. I never used to drink sodas). ...Expand 9
