I remember reading to that today's life expectancy for a healthy young child is close to 100, once they pass a certain age completely healthy (i forget the barrier).
Is that correct or no?

The average American may be getting larger, but I'm getting smaller. Almost 30 pounds since the new year. :D

Yep,
All the chemicals additives/preservatives/coloring.
It's probably speeding up our cancer and related illnesses cases too.
God didn't want us to be ingesting all that crap :(
oh Well.
Drink UP, while you can :beer:

We are still living 30 years longer than people 200 years ago. I wouldn't call that anything less than extraordinary.


yup, no blaming chemicals, pollution in the old days was horrible. u think smogs bad now...hah, thats nothing people used to die in some cities on bad days. simple fact is people eat more. a reg coke at mcdonalds in 1950s~ was 8oz. blow your mind? whats regular now? 24oz? same goes for the rest of the meal. its all been supersized. foods now incredibly cheap, sugars incredibly cheap, meat etc..
