[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 in 2 people in India are suffering from diabetes or cardiovascular disease. That's not just genetics, it's what people are eating. You can love Indian food and admit that it isn't healthy.

To the previous PP, there are no recipes. That's why you have to learn from someone. Again, I think recipes can be made healthier, but ghee is not healthy. There is no doctor that would agree that clarified butter is healthy for people with high cholesterol.[/quote]

It's not just rich food though that might contribute. A basic vegetarian diet is very healthy. It's the processed snacks and sweets that seem to exist in every household. Also, a move to a very sedentary lifestyle that's built into the culture. You'll find few kids enrolled in sports. And doctors are recognizing that there is something different about the Indian subcontinent (possibly on a mitochondrial level) that make all of thes other issues a perfect storm. But a little deal and some vegetable side dishes won't hurt you if you go easy on the fat.
