Re: Personal Health, Nutrition and Fitness Thread
The wealthiest (white) countries, Western Europe, Canada, Australia, US (and unril 60 yrs ago Argentina) all have one thing in common other than the skin tone. Can you think of what it is?

Re: Personal Health, Nutrition and Fitness Thread
20 years ago the average Chinese was malnourished and definitely not 'advanced' but he is much better off today. So it is rather arbitrary what time point you choose to look at. There are many truths, it is really what you want to see. Observation collapses the wave function, as it were. Vit D linke...
