capitalism would be great if someone tried it.
As you say @tankasnowgod we are in a situation where our economy is mostly a corporate fascist one, run for the benefit of giant corporations and wealthy families. It has always been thus. And "democracy" is the worst system as it encourages EVERYONE to try to steal from everyone else.
It is a "soak the rich and the well off and the producers" system so that vast numbers of "voters" can sponge.
Drug companies use their privileged position to capture and control the FDA, and this goes back through history as a normal feature of "regulation".
Ray is very, very misguided in his political beliefs and in this, I am not disappointed because he is only my health guru not my politics and economics guru.
Anyway, gosh, this thread is supposed to be about lifespan, LOL.
Ha, totally agree.
Back to the lifespan thing..... I do believe we will all meet with an end at some point, but the idea that we max out at around 120, with useful lifespan largely being over at 70-80..... that I certainly don't believe. I believe those numbers could be increased, and increased dramatically, if, IF, we were living better lifestyles, usually related to all the things we discuss on this forum.
I do think we could potentially double, or more, both of those estimated limits I mentioned, but if we simply stopped some of the more obvious artificial things (like iron fortification, pushing PUFA on the population, getting more Red Light), I think adding 10 to 20 years to those spans could be relatively easily acheived.
