no Americans over the age of 20 have diabetes and are at increased risk for serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and amputations. If present trends continue, one in two minorities born in 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
"Goya Foods is well-aware of the vital role proper nutrition plays in maintaining healthy families and communities and is delighted to sponsor the Por Tu Familia program. We hope that the Latino community will incorporate the great nutritional options and lifestyle choices that are available through this program in order to combat this disease," stated Goya Foods President, Robert Unanue.
The American Diabetes Association wants people to know that it is possible to enjoy Latin food that is both delicious and good for you. "By making simple changes to ingredients and cooking methods, people can keep the flavors of Latin cuisine without missing any of the traditional tastes families have shared for years," added Drago.
