Coeliac disease – gluten intolerance
I have heard of Crohns being treated with parasites that downgrade an overactive immune system. Celiac is considered a similar disease, though I wonder if it is more than that. I think we have way too much gluten in our diets. I'm slightly sensitive, but it's in nearly everything, so I have trouble avoiding it.
Drowning disparities – Part II
Anecdotal, but when I did competitive swimming and later gave swim lessons, I almost never encountered African Americans. I think the stats for USA swimming says that less than 1% of the organizations swimmers are minorities. Even high income minorities don't gravitate towards swimming...it just doesn't seem to be a "cool" sport in those groups.
