Here's an uplifting story telling us that damage leading to heart disease begins early in life. Which makes me wonder ... if EVERYTHING we do hurts our body in one way or another, why are Americans living longer, healthier lives? Is medicine doing that good of a job, or are we humans a little more resilient than we give ourselves credit for? I mean, the average lifespan of Americans has nearly doubled over the past century despite increasingly sedentary lifestyles, chronic pollution and horribly fatty, salty mass-produced foods. Could it be that our genes like the abuse? (My apologies to the 20 million Americans who have or are on the verge of getting diabetes. This obviously isn't the case.)
