Sonny,

And what was the life expectancy back then? Ever read of what simple diseases people died of without research?

The diseases of the digestive tract Stephen was discussing are very closely tied to diet.

Life expectancy for people 50 years old and older has not changed in the last century. Most of the increases in life expectancy are directly attributable to decreases in infant mortality. When you throw a lot of zeroes into an average, you can bring the number down rather quickly.
