Health in the far north

Health stories from the Arctic/circumpolar region. Some concern Native traditional diets and the benefits and drawbacks — for the Native population and the wider general population. Others have an indigenous focus as well — concerning modern research into a medicinal tradition, and a little-known genetic intolerance of table sugar.
