Given: Current grain-fed livestock and livestock products
(eggs and dairy) have vastly lower CLA (about 80%less) and n-3
levels than typical pasture-fed livestock of more than 100
years ago; and,

Given: The majority of fats in processed foods today are (n-6
rich) grain-derived; and,

Given: The much higher sugar content of typical modern diets
compared to 100 years ago, especially a huge increase in
(IRS2-suppressing) fructose in processed foods and soda
pops; and,

Given: The n-6:n-3 ratio of a typical diet today is 20:1 to
50:1, instead of the 1:1 or 2:1 that was typical 100 years
ago (assuming a person was eating a relatively balanced
diet then);

Is it even possible for a person today eating a "balanced"
diet for decades to remain healthy into old age without
*massive* supplementation (or extreme food choices that the
typical American will never make)? (In this case *massive* is
an unscientific term, so interpret it as you wish).
