Again most of that is attributed to better medicines, technology, diagnosis, and education - not to current versus previous sanitary conditions.

What you say is also true but I think the lives that we live now are far better than the lives my grandparrents lived - true, 90% of the food they ate they produced themselves and they lived well into their 90s, but I wouldn't swap the comfort of my life for a few extra years.

Not in no way saying that we do not have more comfort in today's times. Our lives are indeed better in many ways. I am actually pro advancement and technology. I just wrote this after thinking about it all and how we became afraid of our own shadows and the idea that everything around you is trying to kill you if you do not sanitize it.
I am positive many people just make up allergies. Before anyone jumps my ass though, yes I know they are people with real allergies and they are very serious. Just saying odds are you not allergic to potatoes if french fries are ok but a baked potato is not. Nor are you allergic to ketchup but not cocktail sauce. Another example is someone who is ok with eggs, olive oil, lemons, salt and pepper - yet claims an allergy to mayo.
