Italy Leads The World In Screening For Coeliac Disease

The title of this post is the same as that of this article on 360info.org.

This is the sub-heading.

Coeliac disease is common but often undetected. Researchers are looking at ways to make the disease both easier to diagnose and easier to treat.

This paragraph gives a few more details.

The land of pizza and pasta — Italy — has become the first country in the world to pass a law requiring all children under the age of 18 to be screened for coeliac disease and type 1 diabetes.

I feel the most interesting part of this law will be its secondary and long term ones.

Topics I will be following include.

1. How will it increase the number of diabetics and coeliacs?
2. Will it affect cancer rates?
3. Will it affect obesity rates?
4. Will it affect the rates of other diseases?
5. Will it help to improve Italy’s chronically-low birth rate.
6. Will it improve Italy’s performance in sports like swimming and athletics, that need a high degree of fitness.

How many other countries will follow Italy?
