Abstract

Unfortunately it does not look as if modern medicine is going to find any quick and easy cures for many of the so‐called diseases of Western civilization — such as coronary heart disease, obesity and cancer. The causes of these diseases are rooted in our modern way of life and so, until something more effective turns up, the chances of getting these diseases must be reduced by modifying the most risky aspects.
