Two-thirds, I am guessing that you are below the ae 59. During this past week, I came across a news story, maybe here of FR, that those who are 60 and younger by the year of 2006 can expect to live until about age 1000. The gist was that there are enough medical breakthroughs and knowledge about our bodies, that our health can be prolonged that long.

A second medical news story I read yesterday reveals that a new study shows Vitamin D can prevent cancers from forming. While the story stated that Vitamin D can be found in some foods, it neglected to say (although it could be inferred from the last two paragraphs) that a major source of Vitamin D is sunlight.

Yes, you guessed right, Jem! Age 1000, here I come! LOL!

Yes, I know about vitamin D being best absorbed from the skin which generates it from sunlight. I get lots of sun in the summer. Now, if I can just avoid getting melanoma in my vitamin D-enriched skin!
