Certain diseases characteristic of modern civilization have been shown to have a similar worldwide geographical distribution, and in developing countries a similar socio-economic distribution. This suggests that some causative factor may be common to each, and evidence is provided to support the hypothesis that this might be the over-refining of carbohydrate foods.
某些现代文明特有的疾病已被证明在全球范围内具有相似的地理分布，在发展中国家也具有相似的社会经济分布。这表明可能存在一些共同的致病因素，并且有证据支持这一假设，即这可能是碳水化合物食物过度精制所致。
