Cope. It's a rice vs wheat divide clearly

White rice decreases over HGH because of IGF-1 or something. Look at this and you can see a pattern. The shortest in the world are SEA having the highest rice consumption

Clearly being vegetarian with wheat is better than non veg with white rice from the data

But that wouldn’t explain why places like Kashmir, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and other such places are such contrasts to that rule. Maybe poverty or genetics can be a better explanation.

Kashmiris, Tamils and Keralas eat more meat in their diet and don't eat white rice. It's a different rice from rest of India

genetics can be a better explanation.

Our diet over 100s of years can change genetics

Pre 1960 Indian diets used to be comprised of various millets. All of them were killed off in the replacement of white rice by shitty congress in green "revolution".

Perfectly reasonable explanation for why average height decreased if you ask me.

What kind of rice leads to poor height and what kind leads to good height?

True, but I read curryland is the second most genetically diverse place on Earth that are native there (after Africa). So these different genetics can also play a big factor. For example, maybe more Indo-European genetics = larger height and can explain the trend in north west india, while in the south it could be due to different genetic makeup historically as well, since there were important port cities with lots of trade happening with the places like Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc.

Was there actually a height decrease over time?

There was a height decrease in India after independence

Yes but even then their diet has to support their height, or else they would have become shorter over time.

Don't know. Read about rice and how it effect IGF-1 or something. From what I understood it's about what gives biggest Insulin spikes or something

Also the average height of Dutch 300 years was just 5'5. Diet plays a big role

You get extra 30g of protein in your diet simply replacing rice with wheat rotis
