[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2469995, member: 372717"] Not sure that's a valid argument. Our ancestors mostly didn't reach old age (by our standards). They were too busy dying of broken bones, infections (no vaccines or antibiotics) and childbirth (if female). Whether or not you agree with statins modern medicine has drastically increased average lifespans from a couple of hundred years ago. And of course, the T1s on these forums would all be dead anyway. :) [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#Variation_over_time']Life expectancy - Wikipedia[/URL] Not necessarily very accurate, but interesting anyway.
