I read somewhere just recently that Lupus though high amongst Black women in the US and the Caribbean is rare amongst West African women populations. I’m going to see if can find what I read, or something similar to it and post it here.

In relationship to this disease, I wonder are there environmental and dietary factors involved that effect ones genetic disposition? I heard this about Fibroid tumors, when you compare Black women in the US, to Black women in the Caribbean.
