Topic Reading-Vol.522-9/15/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Diabetes in China may reach alert level.
It seems that the more cars being sold, the higher the chance to get diabetes in a country where bicycles used to be the most common vehicle of transport. Another reason for such increase in the modern disease could be the recent communication technologies and gadgets such as mobile phones, smartphones, blogs and social networking services that seem to relieve people from going to interact with others face to face, which could lessen the chance to exercise while reducing the carbon footprint created by the transport. And of course, eating more, richer and fattier food increases not only the weight but also the chance for diabetes and obesity, which eventually will cost medical costs to the country in the near future.
Enjoy reading and learning about the trend and scale of the modern disease in the most populous country.
