I assume that San Francisco is like many other big cities across the country in that there are messages everywhere. Around here there are a lot of messages on the buses about the dangers of diabetes and then of course there is the constant news about how the American population is growing and they don't mean in numbers. One thing that fascinates me about so many health studies today is that they seem so isolated from everything else that is going on in the world. When will the cross-referencing of data become powerful enough that root causes can really be tracked down?
One thing I was thinking is how a few generations ago most or at least a large percentage of people smoked. From what I've heard smoking is a really great way to stay slim and quitting smoking is a really great way to gain weight. Is it possible that having a generation of ex-smokers may have impacted the health of the next generation through sweets instead of second hand smoke?
And how will the children of the 'diabetes' generation be impacted as their parents panic over the evils of sugar? What could possible replace sugar?
