You mean back in the good old days when your grandpa died in his cave at the age of 29? The digestive system of people didn't change. People ate no grains back then. Now, in its infinite wisdom, the activists at the US Federal government (and organizations such as AMA, AHA, ADA) want to base our food on grains (as seen in the food pyramid). As far as longevity, I don't know if there is data on it, but if half the kids don't make it past infancy, 29 would be a pretty good average longevity for that time... Joe
