幼时没啥零食,口中淡出鸟时,常到家中的储糖瓶偷糖吃,每次二大匙黄色的古巴砂糖方能过瘾。
有次被家中祖辈抓了现行,告曰:会得“糖耗病”的。
还没识字那会在意啥“糖耗病”。过年过节一口气不停吃20~30块软糖硬糖都是稀松平常的事。
也没得啥“糖耗病”。回想起来那时的“糖耗病”应该就是现代的糖尿病。
发病率低于5%的国家除了一些非洲穷国外,也有中北欧的爱尔兰、比利时、瑞士(这两个国家的巧克力最有名!)、挪威、荷兰、奥地利等。
发病率高于15%的国家包括许多小的岛国(例如所罗门群岛、毛里求斯、斐济、关岛等等,为什么?费解)和中东国家如沙特、卡塔尔、阿联酋、科威特、埃及等,但最高的是南亚的巴基斯坦,高达30%。同在南亚而且发展程度并不低的印度则只有9.6%,比中国和美国都低。而相对落后的孟加拉国也有将近15%,非常落后的苏丹有=是18%,相对发达的东南亚国家马来西亚是19%。如果说与穆斯林饮食有关,无法解释塔吉克斯坦只有6.6%。
从饮食上看主要区别似乎就是吃不吃shellfish
