And, it has only created awareness in Guyana. If studies like these are not done,how would our society progress?

More needs to be done to suggest the correlation supports the hypothesis, if I may say so.

As Guyanese, there is cross culture in diet, and as a Afircan Guyanese, a little dhall and rice and some bagee was always a part of our diet. Seem to me that within the last 20 years, more African Guyanese are doing the American thing and eating out more and loosing control of what they are putting into their system.
