I recently find out that Borax - a compound containing 9% of boron is added to some noodles (to improve the texture) in SE Asia. Boron deficiency is strongly correlated with arthritis... What's interesting is Rheumatoid arthritis world map showing that arthritis rates in SE Asia are very low.

It could be many factors, but I guess there is some correlation.
