    There are a lot of factors at play with our longevity,...

    We have more food now than 100 years ago, Toxic food is still more filling than starving to death,...

    Life is safer now than 100 years ago, A much smaller percentage of people die on the job than 100 years ago, Public transportation is safer, ect.....

    One thing is for certain,.None of us is going to live forever,..

    It comes down to Quality of life over Quantity of life. The medical community is artificially extending lives. People are being kept alive and have become complete useless drains on economy.

    Also, easy access to refrigeration has played a HUGE part in the health of people. Job safety as mentioned as well.

    Air conditioning too. A few years ago there was a big heat wave that hit France and hundreds of people died. Medicine, antibiotics etc improved the health of people over the last 100 years, true. Now doctors are slowly shifting away from treating everything right away with antibiotics because our bodies never learn to 'fight' the bugs. Meanwhile the bugs only become stronger to overcome the antibiotics and will destroy hundreds of millions of people. Yes be proactive with your health. Sometimes believe it or not it is better to let your flues and colds run their course, you will be stronger for it rather than raid your local pharmacy further feeding the fear and consumption frenzy that Big Pharma thrives on.

    Yes those of us that are fortunate enough to not be effected by all those chemicals floating around out there certainly will live alot longer because we are definitely well fed and we eat all our vitamins not like in the old days when all people seemed to eat was bread and potatoes.

    not to get back on topic, sorta, but when catalytic converters 1st came out on cars in the mid 70's, I always thought I smelled sulfuric acid from them. The auto folks said no, for a few years, then said yes. So I wonder what the real by products of a DPF regen are, all in the name of reducing soot and NOX's?

    DPF regen raises the exhaust temp to reduce the soot build-up.....The filter eventually clogs completely and requires cleaning from the dealer or other facility......

    # 1 Avoid MSG, it is used as a taste enhancer and meat tenderizer. Symptoms of exposure is extreme thirst, flu like feeling and gained weight. Allergies, it`s not good.

    # 2. Avoid artificial sweeteners, use real sugar instead or honeyEat as much fresh food as you can eat on a truck. Mix seeds, nuts of all kinds with dehydrated pineapple. Peel the apples before eating. Bananas, Carrots and drink Milk, it has Vitamin D in it then cheat a bit and have a big juicy hamburger and feel good about it. Add some Ketcup to it. It`ll help protect your prostate.

    No flames here. We never get the flu shots and rarely get colds, never the flu. Can't blame you one bit about the vaccines.

    The jury is still out if they cause more harm they they "cure". Lots of studies done on them are inconclusive, at best.

    Where did all these sick kids come from? When I was a lad, childhood asthma and autism were fairly rare. Now they are not.

    Why?
