though an actual treatment is a good hurdle, even if it probably costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a side note they should pass a law to rush breakthrough treatments through the pipeline at cost and worry about profits later .... but I digress.

We added seed oils in the 1870s. We already were consuming tobacco and impure heavy metals in water and sugar. Then by WWII we added trans fats, more sugar, and more alcohol. And lots of dairy products with refrigeration, and synthetic dyes. Then in the 1970s we added new wheat strains, microwave foods, not to mention pesticides, growth hormones, agribusiness production methods that prevent exercised healthy animals.

Is it any wonder we have diseases of the gut? Because that's what pancreatic cancer is. As is pancreatitis, gallstones, irritable bowel syndrome and its evil twin IB disease, Crohn's disease, celiac disease.

We are flooded with heavily processed food ingredients, toxins, chemicals. And we have a cancer wave. Did we have all these diseases 200 years ago? How would we know, they all died before age 70 of other causes.

Ever notice how thin people who undereat often live to more than 100?
