I would like to say that I agree that a better lifestyle will help avoid it too and fast foods and shift work are not the answer.

Our way of keeping the work force going 3 shifts is in my opinion a huge factor especially for those who either work straight mids or who do swing shifts and leave their bodies wondering when day and night is. We have a built in clock and yet many of us work against it making the melentonins and other hormonal set up in the body trying to decide if we are hungry or tired and as long as these messages are mixed up we are all going to find ourselves more and more able to get sick now even if a disease is not in the family in the past.

Stress is also a huge factor that we need to look at and is being found to help trigger diseases.
