If there are similar numbers in all counties. That means locations with different cultures, religions, and social structures all suffer from it. Identify a commonality?

It's literally how western medicine works. (Exaggeration incoming) You have diabetes? Never mind the fact that you eat unhealthy and live a sedentary life. We're just gonna give you insulin so that you can keep surfing on your high-sugar diet. The human body did not evolve to eat so much sugar and sit all day. The body needs to move just as much as it needs good nutrients.

  If you have diabetes and are eating a high sugar diet, no amount of insulin is going to save you.
