in a 2004 study done by medical doctors and public health professionals of new york’s icahn school of medicine at mount sinai, a community coalition study was done to compare the availability and cost of diabetes-healthy foods in a black populated neighborhood in east harlem with that of the adjacent white, wealthy upper east side in new york city. researched surveyed 173 east harlem and 152 upper east side grocery stores to find whether or not they stocked 5 basic diabetes-diet recommended foods. results showed that only 18% of east harlem stores stocked the recommended foods, compared with 58% of stores in the upper east side. further, they found that only 9% of east harlem bodegas (convenience stores) carried all 5 recommended items while 48% of upper east side bodegas carried the items. this discrepancy is huge, and is a representation of many communities in america. since health conditions such diabetes are more prevalent in black communities than white communities, this creates a cycle in which type 2 diabetes continues to thrive.
