In Latin\nAmerica for years a spiraling increase in juvenile diabetes has been reported\nlinked to misinformation campaigns by manufacturers of sugary drinks, one in\nparticular, Coca Cola, which advertise as nutritious drinks that become the\nbehavior of people poor in resources economic and correct information, as\nalternatives and less expensive than the milk diet, from the first days of\nlife. This is how diabetes is becoming a social disease that is difficult to\ncure, also due to the difficulty of diagnosis, monitoring and treatment among\nchildren and young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The request\nsent to GSI Italia by some public clinics in the Ecuadorian barrio is to place\nat their disposal medical devices for early blood diagnosis and for the\ntreatment of the disease. We did this by sending an initial supply of products\nto the requesting communities in the first days of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The market\nfor carbonated and sweetened drinks has been growing for many years, with\nmodest purchase costs but very high health and care costs. There are many alarm\nvoices coming from Latin American governments as well as from the health\nauthorities of the continent and from the World Health Organization.\n\nGSI Italia begins its new activity of assistance\nto poor local communities starting from Ecuador, a country in which it has\nnever operated, unlike in Mexico, where, in Yucatan, it has operated for over a\ndecade and continues to operate through the association El Hombre sobre la\nTierra, born in the last decade of the past century, thanks to the local\nactivity of our association through the cooperator Sigismondo Lucidi, leader of\nour projects in the region.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
