In response to the intense rigors, harsh conditions, and extensive physical strain of working in the railroad and gold mine industries, many of the immigrants sought the pain-relief and euphoria opium provided. The absence of Chinese women in California resulted in a large male population that often turned to opium as solace for the lack of romantic relations. 

Three studies carried out in Bangladesh (8), Pakistan (9), and China (10) showed similar adverse reactions patterns. In the Bangladeshi study, nine of 254 women had a rise in both systolic and diastolic blood pressures, but five had a reduction of the same magnitude. In the Chinese women there were no significant changes in blood pressure. However, five Chinese women developed abnormal liver function tests and three of these women had liver enlargement after treatment for more than 2 years. 

The choice of an optimal and reasonably safe dose of a hormonal product varies with race and population, at least because of variations in body weight and possibly also differences in metabolic processes. Dosage studies, for example with very low-dose estrogen treatment, must therefore of necessity be conducted in different populations. In menopausal Chinese women, a daily dose of...

Bladder cancer in Chinese women may be linked to the oil fumes in the kitchen air, which were shown to be mutagenic and to contain up to about 50 p,g m-3 of 4-aminobiphenyl (7a) and 2-naphthylamine (9a). The concentration of these PAA was substantially reduced on adding the antioxidant catechin (42) to the oil43.

Lastly, Wayne Martin refers to a report in the May 18,1991, issue of The Lancet that compares breast cancer incidences for young Chinese women in Singapore. Half were put on a typical high-meat Western diet, the other half on a vegan diet typical of northern China, with much soya food. The former were at three times the risk.

Ecological studies showed that the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in Chinese women is lower than that observed in Caucasian women in Western countries [213]. This was attributed by some authors to the dietary intake of estrogenic Isofl by the Asian populations.
