    That’s easy on the food side of things: Seed oils and GMOs are the biggest cause of this sort of thing. I’d imagine South Asians consume food with those.

      When you do real schience, instead of throwing opinions on the Internet, you actually account for these things.

        Doesn’t look like they’ve done anything about seed oils or GMO, but there are a lot of papers there and I read one then only scanned through the titles, so they well may have. They appear to be all cohort (aka epidemiological) studies so it’s very hard to control for factors like seed oils, which are in almost all food-like products now. Same with other ultraprocessed foods, and things like Glyphosate or Atrazine exposure.

      And you’ve got evidence to back up this claim? Not only that those things do what you sya they do, but that these people consume more of them than others?

      Oh holy shit this random dude on the internet figured it out. All those scientists who did all that research never thought to account for diet I’m sure. Who would have thunk?

        If you can’t cold press oil out of something, it’s a seed oil if you hot press it, in a sense.

        Coconut oil isn’t a seed oil, as it’s cold pressed. Oils like soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, etc. are nothing more than hot, chemical-extracted oils that cause a lot of health issues.

        However, cold pressing what could be a seed oil is a lecithin (sunflower lecithin, soy lecithin, those that can be hot, chemical-extracted oils).

          Source? You’ve just made a bunch of claim with nothing to back that up. No I won’t Google since you made the claim, so burden of proof is on you.

      Pretty sure scientists are baffled for a reason. This isn’t it because this certainly would have been factored.

      Their diets are recommended for good nutrition.
