In addition to obesity, the particulate matter (PM) recognized worldwide as a cause of respiratory and cardiovascular health problems, is quite high in regions of China, exascerbating other risk factors such as obesity, lack of exercise and being"too busy" to go for a check up

FYI just as antioxidant foods are good fo our hearts, these fine particles are oxidative by products, that at their smallest can pass right through the lungs and into the bloodstream. causing oxidative damage that leads to plaque formation.

Interesting how many Western health problems were imported or increased by capitalism.
