As I noted above, that has not proven out to be so. When they come here and eat our diet, and go to our doctors, they quickly begin to die younger.

I am not talking about the people who come here from other cultures, I am talking about the ones who are here and have been here for many many generations. Some families are longer living than others. For instance, my husband is 75 and no one in his family has ever lived that long before. My family on the other hand, almost everyone lives to be very very old.

What I have read, ex. Japanese are not tall people and do not die of the same types of cancers (as a whole) as we do, but second generation Japanese are usually taller than their parents and die of the same types of cancers that the rest of Americans do....

Our diet makes for taller Japanese than the Japanese that don't immigrate...also the diet tends to result in certain types of cancer...

Japanese eat much more fish than we do and we eat much more meat than they do..
