could diet be the answer?

Why are poor British men healthier than wealthy American men

A recent study shows that poor British men are healthier than wealthy American men (the story at npr.org)

After you read the story, think about something - why don't they look at the food consumed by both groups. I suspect that the food eaten by Americans is both highly processed and/or loaded with all sorts of chemicals, while the British diet, is probably composed of minimally processed food with fewer chemical additives.

There is remarkable evidence of the impact that the American food industry has had on our declining health. Unfortunately, the food industry has way more money than their opponents and most of us never find out the real truth until it's too late.
