You are right! I reread and found they eat chapattis.
The Hunza people are covered in Chapter 17 of Cancer: Disease of
Civilization? From page 148, "My own experience provides an example of a
race, unsurpassed in perfection of physique and in freedom from disease in
general, whose sole food consists to this day of grains, (wheat, barley,
maize) vegetables, and fruits, with a certain amount of milk and butter, and
goat's meat only on feast days."
All the best,
