Not talking about infectious diseases her. Talking about cancer. There is less of cancer in India than here, also much less Alzheimers, though I am not sure you could tell in many areas there. Incidences of both seem to vary with the consumption of curry in different localities.
For me turmeric and ginger keep my gal bladder inflammation under control.Doctor says “you have to have that out,” but I researched that and eat the turmeric and ginger instead. Lemon juice gives instant relief if I forget the turmeric.
And so what is the average life expectancy in India?
On average it is only 66.21 years as of 2012 compared to 78.74 years in America.
Many forms of cancer and certainly Alzheimers are diseases of “old age”. If you don’t live to be very old or die from other causes like measles or polio, and poor hygiene etc., you are not very likely to die from cancer or ever live long enough to develop Alzheimers.
