   "A post from 1996:"   
      
   15 years is forever in the rapidly advancing diabetes research.   
      
   One way to test such ideas is to find where a natural experiment has   
   already been done.   
      
   India not not known for its meat consumption relative to the west zoomed   
   to the top of the diabetes rate list during the past 15 years.  Even   
   there the n. indian and s. indian rates appear to be different.  The   
   rate is higherin s. india.   
      
   To look at meat consumption alone compared to the west does not account   
   for india's leading the world in diabetes.   
      
   What is in common the world over is eating more and exercising less.   
   Weight and obesity zoom up.   
      
   In lower meat countries like india this means more carbohydrates and in   
   much very in the less complex kinds such as in rice and bread for   
   example.  Added to this is the increased use of veggie derived oils   
   which is also implicated in diabetes risk.   
      
   In indian locations where traditional diets, less food intake, and more   
   exercis is the standard; the rates and risk are as low as any in the   
   world from decades ago.
