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

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.


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.


you live longer...much more apt to get diseases such as heart disease and
cancer

plus 100 years ago...when the life span was under 50...those folks walked
most places...did not have toys such as televisions,,,,etc....

and they ate the food they or those around them grew

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.
