No disagreement that modern medicine allows survival of people that would have otherwise died. I'm in no way saying I'm against western medicine.

However, there's just no doubt that changes in diet, exercise, lifestyles, agricultural practices, etc, have a huge impact on people's general health. I haven't actuality seen any studies comparing the two, but I'd be very surprised to see genetic issues being the bigger problem.

Good chat, BTW. Far too few of these on the internet.
