"How did our ancestors survive for thousands
of years consuming fats from nature? Heart disease was almost non-
existent prior to the industrialization of our food (before the
1900s), as well as cancer, diabetes and many other degenerative
diseases that are prevalent today. It doesn't appear as if the low-
fat dogma is working because cancer, heart disease and diabetes are
on the rise since the introduction of low-fat diets.

==>There was an interesting comment in Weston A. Price's latest Wise
Traditions Magazine: "Are We Really Living Longer?"

"there are some interesting statistics about
centenarians [people 100 years old & over]. From a video segment
recent aired on Nova, we learn that one 1 in 10,000 Americans will
live to age 100. US census data indicates that in 1990 there were an
estimated 37,306 centenarians out of 248,709,870 or 1 in 6,721
people. According to numbers compiled at the University of Virginia,
in 1830 there were 2,600 centenarians out of 12,866,020 people, or 1
in 4,956, more than twice as many as a percentage of population than
there are today. So much for assurances that this generation will
live longer than ever."
