Coronary artery disease occurs when fatty deposits narrow the arteries that supply blood to heart muscles, which can lead to angina and heart attack. In a special article, Dr. Enas A. Enas from the Coronary Artery Disease in Asian Indians Research, Chicago, Illinois, writes that Indians worldwide have the highest rates of CAD. Coronary artery disease rates in urban areas in India are now fourfold higher than in the United States, according to the report. The excess risk is even greater in women than in men, he noted. "When compared to whites, blacks, Hispanics and other Asians, CAD rates among Indians worldwide are 2 to 4 times higher at all ages, and 5 to 10 times higher in those less than 40 years of age," he writes. Whereas risk factor interventions--such as anti-smoking campaigns and cholesterol reduction--have led to a halving of the CAD rates in the West in the past 30 years, the rates doubled in India with no signs of a downturn, Enas notes. Enas concludes that a significant reduction in CAD rates can be easily achieved in India by adopting a strategy of lifestyle modification, early identification, and treatment of risk factors.

In India, part of the problem is the increased consumption of carbohydrates that has come with increased prosperity. Not surprisingly, India also has the greatest number of Type 2 diabetics in the world. .. |

Jai Guru Datta Dear Datta Devotees, I was under the impression that the mailing list "JAIGURUDATTA (AT) egroups (DOT) com" was created for topics relating to DATTA PEETHAM and "Sri Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji". So my humble opinion is that, we should not use this mailing list for other topics. Sri Guru Datta -Ravi --- Patricia Panebianco > Will the white rice and white sugar have to go?
