Still food seems to me the major culprit in westernised societies. Artificial
coloring, preservatives, the whole shebang.
Getting a higher pulse from all the non-foods people eat, the salt, sugars,
preservatives and much more will give you a heartattack all right!
If their arteries are under attack when they didn't even have a couple of
thousand years to maybe slightly immunitize(sp?) they don't stand much chance
with SAD.
