   "The evidence favoring a new approach came first from comparisons of   
   various populations around the world. People whose diets were based   
   mainly on plant-derived foods -- that is, rice, noodles, beans, and   
   vegetables -- were less likely to develop diabetes, compared with   
   people whose diets are fattier or centered on meatier dishes. For   
   example, among people following traditional Japanese diets, diabetes   
   was rare. Studies show that when people moved from Japan to the U.S.   
   and adopted a Western diet, they were much more likely to develop   
   diabetes."   
      
   But india is the case study that contridicts this, it has the highest   
   rate of diabetes.  None of the places referenced did not eat meat.  But   
   what is more important is the amount of food eaten and the level of   
   exercise.  When the japenese came to america calories went up and   
   exercise down, weight increased.  That has now become the patteren the   
   world over where diabetes is high regardless of meat consumption;   
   remembering india again at the top of the list.
