The Notmilk letter warned:
“China would do well to carefully analyze the effects of
milk and dairy products on Japan. A once healthy nation,
having adopted the American diet, also adopted higher rates
of American diseases. GOT MILK? Got heart disease,
osteoporosis, and cancer.”
On April 22, 2008, China’s People Daily Online reported:
“At present, the growth of China’s milk production occupies
more than half of the world’s milk production.”
DIABETES
Diabetes rates are soaring in China:
Diabetes.co.
“Diabetes in China – The Situation:
Information about the state of diabetes in China is not readily
available, although some experts have stated that it is alarming.
It is estimated that during the 21st Century almost 1 million new
cases of diabetes will occur per year.”
ASTHMA
Asthma Rates are soaring:
The Shanghai Star Reports:
“…the number of children with asthma in Shanghai
has risen over the past few years.”
CANCER
Cancer has now become the biggest killer in China.
According to the Shanghai Star (April 16, 2008):
“China’s increasing wealth has brought with it many of the
trappings of the developed world…But along with designer
clothes and consumer goods come increased stress, increased
pollution and soaring cancer rates…Cancer has become
China’s top killer…”
Osteoporosis, once rare in China, is now common:
HEART DISEASE
Heartzine.dom reports:
“Data from 1957 for China had put diseases of the heart
in a firm fifth place amongst causes of mortality. The
rapid increase in heart disease should ring alarm bells
for the government of China…”
Indeed.
