title: Cubans' deadly diet: a wakeup call.
abstract: Learning to live and eat differently is essential to turning back the global epidemic of chronic diseases. And Cubans are no exception. As a rule, Cubans scarcely consume whole-grain cereals, fruits, or leafy green and other vegetables. But we have a relatively high consumption of saturated fats, sugars, refined cereals, animal-origin foods, sweets of all kinds, salt, and "junk foods" loaded with chemical additives. Mealtimes tend to be irregular, we eat on-the-run, and foods are often poorly handled and elaborated.
