Playing devil's advocate here..
After reading all the 'toilet' links from that page Bob posted 
yesterday, it has me thinking a bit differently.  If the indoor toilet 
added 10-20 years to life expectancy as alleged, that would change the 
lifespan range and put more people living into their 70's and beyond. 
That additional time might allow more cancers to develop.
Also, the old timers wore hats and long sleeves.  They were smart and 
did not bask in sun worship as teens do today.
