spoke courageously on governance issues.
I like the way he would alter his voice - that of radio presentation and normal speaking were different.

Me too.And its very scaring.

Though a medical practitioner told me its all in whatever we put into our bodies.The food we eat and the air we breath in.

Hizo fertilizers,pesticides,preservatives etc.
Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

Prostrate is now a major killer for the 60+ wazees. how come we never witnessed this in the earlier years.

Research shows that frequent ejaculation reduces the risk of getting prostrate cancer.I think the reason for widespread prostrate cancer is due to limited/scarce landing opportunities unlike before where our grandfathers and maybe fathers had atleast 3 wives

3 main reasons.

People have always died, only difference now is that they go to hospital and whatever is ailing them is given a name. In the past people still died but they did not have a name to label the death. Short illness, long illness etc.

The second one is your grandmother who died at 90 was probably 1 in 100 to survive childhood. There was a time only the fittest survived to see adulthood. The now 60 and 50 year olds had some medical attention in their childhood and more of them survived so there is a bigger pool which means even if the disease affects the same percentage of people the number is greater with more people.

3rd I think is deserving a thread of its own. There is something very drastic that happened to the Kikuyu population that lived through the emergency years as children and latter found prosperity. My hunch is that they went through a period of great malnutrition through their childhood years that affected their general well being. Find any well to do 60 year old Kikuyu that grew up poor and I can almost bet 99% of them are diabetic and have high blood pressure.

My paternal grandparents died at old age(87yrs and 91yrs)

They had 7 children. 4 of them are already dead at sub 60. 2 of them from cancer.

But nice points...

Partly true.If you talk to retired medical practitioners, they will tell you that ailments like cancer,high blood pressure and diabetes were very rare in Kenya up to around 1976.

Even today,just go to Kainuk and get the statistics of cancer and compare with those of tea growing areas of central province.
