Abstract
The incidence of global obesity and Type 2 diabetes has increased
and is predicted to rise to 30% of the global population. Diet and
lifestyle factors are incapable to resolve the increased incidence for
obesity and diabetes in various populations of the world. Developing
countries have come to the forefront because of the higher diabetic
epidemic. The urbanization may possibly provide an explanation for
the global diabetic epidemic. In Western countries the metabolic syndrome
and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have reached
30 % of the population and now at present NAFLD afflicts 20% of
developing populations. Western diets and sedentary lifestyles cause
metabolic disorders in developing
