Now you go on to say check the statistics but you do not supply a source. If we relied on tradidtion today we would far less advanced than we are today.
Well firstly post a link to the article you are refering to. The WAPF site is generaly well referenced so I don't know which article you are refering to. See the link I posted about the supposed short lives of our ancestors. Cause and effect is needed here. Some of our ancestors had short lives but they would have been the early city dwellers living in squalour without running water or sewerage. It's got nothing to do with diet except maybe a LACK of animal fats. People subsisting on a grain only diet isn't that healthy.
