I never knew what caused wapya, it must be the diet.
I though it was improper dental hygiene.
Before going overseas, I was used to high starchy Guyanese food.
But vegetables and salads later became a large part of my diet.
When I am now in Guyana, I have difficulty handing just rice with curry meat and no veggys.
Lettuce is difficult to find in Berbice and only tomatoes and cucumbers are readily available.
Guyana needs a national food guide and an education program against soft drinks and sweets, because diabetes is on the rise.
