I don't know your relatives and only have your word for what they did and didn't do. Are you sure you remember what they did? So why speculate? But I still say that lifestyle is the major factor in determining health and longevity.
Are you sure you remember what I said? I didn't say I didn't know what a KINDLE was. Do you know what you are insinuating? Ordinarilly, it would be considered mean-spirited but it might just be a change in personality. I read that aggression and rudeness can be an early sign of Alzheimer's.
No it's not flawed. It's not weight per say, it's waist measurement. Did you forget? And, in science, it doesn't mean that everyone with a large waist will get Alzheimer's. It just means that they increase their risk of getting Alzheimer's.

Obviously, you've never seen a teeny tiny "skinny minnie" lady of 85 to 95 lbs....top weight 100 in their prime,if that. NO BIG WAIST on a frame of those dimensions. There are variables in everything.
What I am saying is that NOT ALL CASES ARE ALIKE....you cannot lump it all together from your rigid perspective.
It's like saying someone with a big nose is going to get brain cancer.
Mean spirited? I don't think so.
But I do think that people who have a fear of dying just might become so rigid in their search for eternal life on earth that they don't see the forest for the trees.
Personally, it is none of my business if you have or don't have a charge card nor a televsion set or a kindle for that matter. Personal choices.
However, your comments have been very rude, to say the least.
Some of them don't even make sense.....such as reading novels is boring. Lurking near fellow library visitors to see what they are carrying out of the library? Most people read a variety of fields of interest but perhaps some just want an "escape" in a novel. Not all books are great works of art.
We are all on this earth to learn, but it's true that you can attract more people with a little genuine understanding that everyone is different and not as rigid as others.
Yesterday we had a carpenter over who just happens to be Mennonite, originally from Pennsylvania. He had a beautiful truck and trailer for his equipment.......unlike the Amish, they do have cars , however, he told us he does NOT have a television. Very nice 35 year old dad of an 18 month old daughter. He and his wife just flew back and forth 16 hours each way to Hong Kong on their "mission"........did lovely work, as he has done for our neighbors............now, my husband would miss his 60 inch flat screen t.v. as he's really been enjoying the Olympic games.
What's the harm? We also watch a lot of Public Television documentaries plus the few good shows that are still on regular t.v.
Our brains are still just fine.......
When our grandchildren come over, they love to play Wii and do their exercises in front of this giant t.v...........so, different strokes for different folks.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am the least mean spirited person alive; it's just that your posts do provoke people. If you are trying to get a rise out of folks, you should say you are playing "Devil's Advocate" and they would "get it"..........but you come out so bluntly......like insinuating my dad had congenital heart disease back in 1899 at birth because his mother might have done drugs? Wrong era. Unless you pictured her going to an OPIUM den, which they did have back at the turn of the century in N.Y.C. I can always see both sides to every story.
It's called "being flexible" in mind and thought.
