I’ve said for a long time that all China’s “sugary” industries are not worth investing in. A low-carb diet will become a national consensus in China. … Although so-called “sugar substitutes” like sugar alcohols and certain excessive polyphenol-rich beverages are actually less healthy than sucrose, East Asian populations have poor sugar tolerance, leading to widespread fear of sugar. The ketogenic diet is an inevitable trend that emerges once economic development reaches a certain level—and China’s steadily rising per capita protein intake reflects this trend! Per capita protein intake is a highly objective indicator of quality of life. China has now surpassed Japan and South Korea in this metric, but still lags behind the United States.
