Subject: Re: OT: Highest Life Expectancy Countries
If there is a genotype for someone with diabetes, a large proportion of Americans exhibit it. A lifetime of eating junk food and processed "stuff" is taken for granted in an environment where the art of advertising (and lobbying) has trumped common sense when it comes to diet.

It's not likely to be genetic because it only changed over the last 30-40 years. In the 50s and 60s there were way fewer overweight folks in the USA. Even in the 70s and early 80s it was much less common.
