Traditional English breakfasts have bacon, sausage, eggs and even kidneys and liver. If they ate at least one egg a day, why did they have less problems than what we eat in modern life?
Don't we eat more vegetables, fibre, vitamins and less saturated fats than those people? Are we living longer but not living as healthily?
longevity in victorian england (turn of the century) was less than the average life expectancy of a fat bloated american today.
they had health issues back then, but they didn't write about them extensively and compulsively like we do today. i read all of arthur conan doyle's books on sherlock holmes, and there were many clues on ill health in that era.
