But for me this was one of the most fascinating pieces of medical data about the Tarahumara
在我看來，這是關于塔拉烏馬拉人最有趣的醫(yī)療數(shù)據(jù)
that they are the blood cousins to the Pima of Arizona
亞利桑那的皮馬人是他們的近親
And Pima of Arizona have some of the highest rates of diabetes in the world, I'm sure you've heard about it on the news
亞利桑那皮馬人的糖尿病患病率是世界最高的，你們在新聞中應該聽過
They had a piece in your times about it not too long ago
不久前就有報道提到過
By the time you're in your 30s as a Pima, you have well over 50% chance of developing diabetes
30多歲的皮馬人中，超過50%的人都患有糖尿病
And when you go truly down into the canyons, and look for diabetes among the Tarahumara you don't find it
但在銅峽谷中，塔拉烏馬拉人卻沒有糖尿病
And so can we say that this is genetics
這能說是基因原因嗎
No, because their cousins in Arizona have some of the highest rates in the world
不能，因為他們的近親皮馬人患病率很高
So it tells us that this really probably has a lot to do with diet
所以說，原因肯定是在飲食上
So what did they eat
他們吃些什么呢
Very simple, they really are quite vegan in their approach to eating
很簡單，他們幾乎是素食主義者
They eat the three sisters, las tres hermanas, They eat corn and beans and squash
他們吃這“三姊妹”，玉米，豆類，南瓜
And when we're talking about corn, it's not at all in a processed form
玉米并不是我們說的加工后產(chǎn)品
As a matter fact, their tortillas like the ones that I traded with that woman
他們做的玉米薄餅，和那個婦女交換的那種
They're thick and rich and nutty, and honestly, you eat one of them, you're full
做得很稠密很有分量，老實說，吃一個就飽了
And if you had another one left over, You could use it to scrub the corns off your feet or clean the ring out from your bathtub
如果吃剩下一個，可以用它去腳上的雞眼或用它清洗浴缸死角
