　　Now there is an epidemic of obesity: two-thirds of adults and 15 percent of kids. What's really concerning to me is that diabetes has increased 70 percent in the past 10 years, and this may be the first generation in which our kids live a shorter life span than we do. That's pitiful, and it'spreventable. Now these are not election returns, these are the people -- the number of the people who are obese by state, beginning in '85, '86, '87 -- these are from the CDC website -- '88, '89, '90, '91 -- you get a new category -- '92, '93, '94, '95, '96, '97, '98, '99, 2000, 2001 -- it gets worse. We're kind of devolving. (Laughter)

　　Now what can we do about this? Well, you know, the diet that we've found that can reverse heartdisease and cancer is an Asian diet. But the people in Asia are starting to eat like we are, which is why they're starting to get sick like we are. So I've been working with a lot of the big foodcompanies. They can make it fun and sexy and hip and crunchy and convenient to eat healthier foods, like -- I chair the advisory boards to McDonald's, and PepsiCo, and ConAgra, and Safeway, and soon Del Monte, and they're finding that it's good business. The salads that you see at McDonald's came from the work -- they're going to have an Asian salad. At Pepsi, two-thirds of their revenue growth came from their better foods.

　　And so if we can do that, then we can free up resources for buying drugs that you really do need for treating AIDS and HIV and malaria and for preventing avian flu. Thank you.

　　尽管所有对于艾滋病和禽流感的忧虑都是合理的—— 稍后我们将会听到优秀的Brilliant医生的演讲——我想要说的是另一种流行疾病，也就是心血管疾病、糖尿病、高血压—— 这些疾病对于至少95%的人而言，都是可以通过改变饮食和生活方式而完全预防的。

　　而目前的情况是疾病的全球化正在发生，人们开始以我们一样的方式吃饭、生活以及死亡。举例来说，在一代人的时间内，亚洲人患心脏病、肥胖症以及糖尿病的比率即从最低的群体之一攀升至最高。而在非洲大多数国家，心血管疾病致死的人数与HIV和艾滋病致死的人数相同。因此这是一个关键的机遇，我们不得不作出重要的改变，这个改变能够影响成千上万人的生命，并在全球范围内实践预防医学。

　　心脑血管疾病致死的人数超过了其他疾病致死人数的总和，不仅仅在我们国家，而且是在全球范围之内，对于几乎所有人而言，这是完全可以预防的。而这不仅仅是可以预防的，而且实际上是可治愈的。在过去约29年里，我们可以证实，仅仅是通过改变饮食和生活方式，我们使用了非常昂高科技、昂贵和顶尖的手段来证实这些简单、低科技和低成本的预防措施作用是如此之大。我们使用了动脉造影，一年前后还使用了心脏PET扫描。
