In the field of medical science, it has been suspected that what works for the physical well-being of curing diseases of the Whites do not necessarily suit the well-being of Asians. The point is that they have different level of tolerance due to differences in DNA and physical attributes that are not common to both. Asians always take their cue from what the West dictates and took them to heart as the be all and cure all magic formula.
There are now reports that the Chinese have managed to cure certain type of diabetes that are deemed incurable. How true is that I cannot confirm. Over the centuries, Chinese traditional medicines have suffered much demonization over their effectiveness and safety. This is the same kind of propaganda that the West uses when faced with competition. Give a dog a bad name and then skin it.
I want to bring up the case of Canola oil which was touted as the safest and healthiest oil to use, which has now been exposed. Manufacturers have to mix them with cheaper oil, selling at a lower price. What does that mean? Decades ago, when Canola oil came on the market, the USA was in a battle competing against palm oil. The latter was demonized as unhealthy, which targeted Malaysia and angered Mahathir. The fact is that Canola oil is just as bad, being subjected to bleaching to get its golden color as opposed to its original dark brown color which no one will touch for sure.
Shame to say, I was also brainwashed for some years, using Canola oil, but not ever now. Oh, not to forget, coconut oil is now on sale and is the second most expensive oil after Olive oil. I do not know about extra virgin, half virgin or non-virgin type, lol.
