“list is heavy middle east and pacific/polynesian - genetic prediliction?”
I think so. The traditional middle east diet is basically the Mediterranean diet, which is heavy on vegetables, fish, chickpeas, fruit, olives, spices, eggs, etc. Very little in the way of grains, excepting rice and rye. Very little booze.
Wheat, sugar, and the like was a luxury for thousands of years, but now abounds.
We (and I include me) just can’t handle it.
