That has already been debunked as FUD and _DENOUNCED by the Webmaster of
zone-h.org_ (IIRC) because it was not a scientific way or measuring
**anything**. The population was oddly sampled*.
If you study illness /only/ around China Town you can easily reach the flawed
conclusion that the Chinese population in the some nation or state has
higher-than-average illness levels.

*There was similar outrage when the author (Rcvicher?) of some study on patents
and Linux got used by Ballmer to extort Linux users.
