What distinguishes traditional societies from modern populations regarding health outcomes?

Traditional societies often exhibit significantly better health outcomes compared to modern populations, particularly concerning disease incidences such as cancer.

The observation of lower cancer rates in less industrialized communities can be attributed to the limited exposure to synthetic chemicals and a more natural lifestyle. As cultures have integrated modern products, incidences of chronic conditions have surged.

• Many traditional populations have remained largely unaffected by the prevalence of modern environmental toxins.
• The spread of chemical pollutants, known as 'forever chemicals,' has begun to impact even the most remote communities.
• Health disparities illustrate the profound effect of lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental exposure on overall health.
