> In the sugarcane region of El Salvador, as much as one-fifth of the population has chronic kidney disease, including over a quarter of the men, the presumed result of dehydration from working the fields they were able to comfortably harvest as recently as two decades ago. This is preposterous for so many reasons. High blood sugar and hypertension are causes #1 and #2 for CKD, and El Salvador, like the rest of the world and Latin America in particular, is suffering from the epidemic of metabolic syndrome. And what percentage of Salvadorans do they expect us to think work the fields? (When only 20% work in the agricultural sector.) And what temperature difference makes the difference between comfort and injurious dehydration? Which presumably cannot be compensated for by drinking more water? And who said dehydration is a significant contributor to CKD? https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd/causes https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/kidney-disease/... Perhaps this article was re-submitted to portray climate activists as alarmist and unconcerned with the truth?
