Introduction

Would you like to live in a society where there is an increased risk of heart disease, some cancers, and suffering from dementia? In the same society for the first time in human history, there are suggestions that the life expectancy of children is less than their parents.

The population has been condemned to a reduced life expectancy; in the final years, incapacitated by a range of diseases.
