long life, organic veg etc

Apr 11, 2002, 14:20

Completely agree that we seem uncannily good at bringing about our own destruction. Also that organic veg are good per se rather than just less likely to damage you as an individual.

However, on imported western diseases and diseases in the west in general it is worth saying (I think) that a lot of these are diseases of 'older' age and are a trade off for having greater life expectancy. If you die at 50 you are unlikely to have had Alzheimers. However, if you increase your life expectancy to 80 then the chances of you catching it vastly increase. The same goes for some sorts of cancer definitely.

So whilst I don't disagree it's just something that perhaps makes the black/white a little greyer.
