Young haredi Israelis 1.5x more likely to get diabetes than secular Jews - Health Ministry

 A haredi (ultra-Orthodox) young person is 1.5 times more likely to develop Type II diabetes than a non-haredi young person, according to the Health Ministry.

The ministry originally reported that haredim aged 25-34 were 15 times more likely than the rest of the Jewish population to develop the disease, but then retracted and revised the report.
According to the full report, which was released on Tuesday evening, in most age groups, the likelihood of developing diabetes is higher among ultra-Orthodox.

  1. Less roglach, more exercise, sea and sun. But on separated beaches.

  2. Wait, you mean sitting around all day drinking coffee with cream and eating fatty foods while snorting that exercise is for goyim leads to negative health consequences? You don't say.

  3. Davka, coffee and fatty foods (animals, fish, nuts) are actually good and could prevent diabetes / metabolic syndrome.
    Sugar, alcohol, cakes are the bad guys.
    Also, Jews in general have higher rates of diabetes than the general population.
