    Dr. Dean Ornish answered:

    Coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes (once known as adultonset, though an increasing number of younger people are now getting it), and obesity can be prevented in almost everyone simply by making sufficient changes in diet and lifestyle. We don’t have to wait for a breakthrough in technology or a new drug; we just need to put into practice what we already know. If we did, these pandemics could be as rare as malaria is in the United States.
