Maybe I completely misunderstand what you are saying, but just in case: Are you saying that the traditional Indian diet (north or south) conduces to diabetes? Having lived in India and Pakistan as a boy for a total of 10 years, I never, ever, *ever* heard that the traditional diet of rice or chapatis, lentils, vegetables, dairy, spices, with a little meat or fish in the event, was conducive to any chronic or degenerative disease; quite the contrary, just as with the white rice + fish + vegetables + coconut oil + fruit diet of my Filipino ancestors. The Japanese, notorious, nay, infamous eaters of great quantities of polished white rice, have been long noted for *not *having heart disease, diabetes, etc, and they are all outliving their social systems! Of course, there is carb and there is carb; white rice, whole wheat flour, beer, versus the cookie aisle in the grocery store and all the horrible corn syrup and sugar the factories add to artificial foods to make them palatable.
