Repeating that lie is wearing thin.
People are certainly not healthier in any way.
In the early 1950s the figure for cancer probability was one in five, which became one in four in the early 1960s, and stands now at close to one in two.
In 1950 diabetics were a small unnoticed minority, and type II diabetes was unknown to the average joe on the street. Now close to a third of our adult population show dangerously high blood glucose levels, which is a very likely cause for the alarming cancer probability, since most cancers are glycosylating, and have a voracious appetite for sugar.
The rise in type II diabetes keys in well with the pushing of poly unsaturated vegetable oils, and the even worse manufactured ‘fats’ in the various forms of ‘margerine.’
No, we are not living longer, or healthier, and statistical manipulation has not dented the mortician’s bottom line in any way.

Live expectancey in the 50's was less than 70, today it's nearly 80. Yeah, all those cancer deaths have increaed our life spans.
Well, hmm, odd as in the 50’s something like 40% of American Adults smoked, that number has dropped to 18% or less, so if anything cancer deaths should have declined with the reduction of smokers in the US population.
As for Diabetes, to be blunt, I think Americans have gotten very fat and very lazy.

I have been in health care for over 30 years and this statement interests me. Please provide references for all 3 contentions. I would like to do a little research. TX!
