To start with Kevin Trudeau is an opportunistic clown and truth is
accidental.

Vernono,

Trudeau is not perfect, but he certainly did a good job exposing the big
problems with our corporate medicine.


But

Life expectancy can be stated several ways.

Variation causes.
1. Infant death accepted or eliminated.
2. The application of death to accidents in the overall.
3. Records
4. Abortion accepted or eliminated.
5. Pre- puberty deaths accepted or eliminated.

My dear friend, I'm not trying to propose any sort of a new methodology for
calculating life expectancy in the US. The existing methodology is fine by
me, and this would certainly include infant deaths and pre-puberty deaths.
It's *life expectancy at birth* that we're talking about.



So the question is, are the government stats reliable in this case? And if
not, what the reliable stats would be like? Any guesses, anyone?



Forget traditional or alternative, the number one "cause" of death other
than accidental or child / youth is excess weight.
The number one cause of that is excess sugar.

Exceptions? Tons of them.

Cancer and heart disease are MUCH more prevalent today than 50-100
years ago.

So do you (or anyone else here) agree with Kevin Trudeau about the
government stats being unreliable?

Is he really the only one questioning these stats?


All the best,

Yuri.

Greetings, all,



In his blockbuster book, "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know
About", Kevin Trudeau casts some doubt on the reliability of US lifespan
statistics. He says the stats have been falsified.



According to the official numbers, the average lifespan in the US is
currently 78 years, and is still increasing, although not nearly as
quickly as before. In fact, in the last few years, the lifespan has been
going up only incrementally.



Meanwhile, we all know that there's an obesity epidemic, the diabetes
epidemic, the cancer rates are going up, the allergy rates are up
dramatically, and all sorts of degenerative diseases are increasing.
Considering all this, why would the average lifespan be still rising?
Seems like a mystery to me...



Don't the obese people generally have a shorter lifespan?



In any case, this is what Trudeau says,



"I hear a lot about the alleged fact that we are living longer than ever
before. This is categorically not true. ... The statistics on life span
are fraudulent and false. ... I have to tell you, every time somebody
says that we are living longer than ever before I want to scream. Again,
I want you to know that it's a lie. The government wants you to believe
this because they want you to believe that drugs and surgery are doing a
wonderful job, keeping in mind that the majority of money that is going
in the pockets of politicians all around the world is from the
pharmaceutical industry. ... The bottom line is people are not living
longer than ever before. It is a false statistic." (Kevin Trudeau,
"Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About", Alliance Publishing,
2004, pages 116-117)



But unfortunately, Trudeau doesn't offer any substantiation for his
claims, and neither does he offer any estimate as to what the true
lifespan in the US might actually be at this time.



So has anyone looked into this matter before? Any further info would be
appreciated.



Best regards,



Yuri.
