    There's also a misconception that we live longer now than ever before. Our life expectancy is longer because fewer of us die prematurely (from accidents or preventable disease, and 'treatable' conditions like diabetes) and more of us are living long enough for the frailties of old age to kill us. But human life span has not changed appreciably. So far as we can tell with a reasonable degree of certainty, people have always lived 70-80 years before their body turns on itself and the old age death spiral begins. And for most of the 200,000 years that modern man has been around, we ate whatever was available. And if there was more than enough to go around, we ate more of whatever it was that tasted best. No veganism, no gluten-free, no clean diet, no South Beach, no Atkins. Just filling the hole in your belly.

    S'all good, man.
    yep

    Psalm 90
    The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.


    it was true 3000 years ago and still holds true today

    My sixth grade teacher said something I have always thought about in the ensuing 45 or so years. She was a biology researcher before she was a teacher. She said she had a theory that old age was a disease, or syndrome of diseases, that only affects old people. If we could turn off the signal for the organs to shut down when they get old, folks could go on living.

    These days, we can flip switches, so to speak, so maybe one day they could flip the switch that causes organs to age and shut down.
