Per Capita rates in Arizona:
Apart from the border, much of it is driven by the Navajo and Pima Indians, both of which have huge issues with obesity and diabetes. "The Pima Indian population of Arizona has one of the highest prevalence of diabetes of any population in the world, and the Pima Indians of the Gila River Indian Community have probably been the most studied group for the causes and consequences of diabetes."

"Take just diabetes. Historically, almost no Navajo suffered from it. But because of factors including the scarcity of wholesome groceries available within the Navajo Nation, one in three Navajo are now diabetic or pre-diabetic. In some regions, health care workers report diagnosing diabetes in every other patient."

Too much copper in their diet?
Last I heard AZ Senators No-name and Snow Flake had Indian-traded Resolution Copper to the British Commonwealth to sell strategic US copper to the Chinese to make Whowhat phones to sell back to us. Sort of like Uranium1. That’d make you sick.
“The Resolution Copper deposit is located in an area that has a long history of use by Native Americans including the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, the Gila River Indian Community, the Pueblo of Zuni, the Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe, the Yavapai-Apache Nation, the Hopi Tribe, the San Carlos Apache Tribe, the Tonto Apache Tribe, and the White Mountain Apache Tribe. The Tonto National Forest is working with interested and affected parties to better understand the historical, cultural and religious importance of the area.”
