I'm not sure that anyone said that it was cut and dried. What's been said is that you should do your best to live the very best lifestyle possible. The better one does at following good rules of nutrition, the more likely it is they will reduce their risk for degenerative diseases. No one ever said there would be a 100% guarantee of success. If someone is born with a heart defect, that's not a degenerative disease of aging and a healthy diet will obviously not cure it. And I don't believe anyone on this board ever said that it would.

Not everyone can remain healthy eating healthy food.

Right, but what is the alternative? Eating unhealthy food? As I said above, we should try to follow the very best rules of nutrition to reduce our risk for developing degenerative diseases.

..........it was in their D.N.A.

Some people may be born with birth defects for various reasons. Maybe the mother was lacking certain nutrients when she was pregnant. Maybe she smoked, drank alcohol or used drugs. So not everything is D.N.A.

I'm really against pharmaceuticals more than against food in general. I think it's unnatural to put all these chemicals in ones body. Nuff said.

Look at the ingredients of a store bought apple pie. Or presevatives in some meats. They are no less chemicals than some of the chemicals in pharmaceuticals. And fresh vegetables contain lots of good chemicals. I don't like drugs either but let's face it, chemicals are everywhere

I also know people of "great faith" and others with individual belief systems of their own.....who remained positive, and still died of cancer.

Yes, good point. So all this stuff about being happy to solve all of our health problems is somewhat off the mark.
