“My father and grandfather both died at the age of 57 from diabetes and other health related issues. “My mother died at the age of 67 from diabetes and the resulting congestive heart failure.  Several relatives have also died prematurely from diabetes and other illnesses.  I have decided to dedicate my life to combating poor health, premature aging, and premature death.”
