    There’s some contradictions in your points that you might take a look at. Imagine the mother in the first example be suicidal like in the third.

    As for the accidental and temporary health, I have immediate family that has Parkinson’s, another that has MS, a friend that had brain surgery to remove cancer. No amount of effort would prevent any of these. As Captain Picard says: “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness, that is life.”

    You mention reducing sugar intake to prevent type II diabetes. From https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5133084/

    We conclude based on high quality evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCT), systematic reviews and meta-analyses of cohort studies that singling out added sugars as unique culprits for metabolically based diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease appears inconsistent with modern, high quality evidence and is very unlikely to yield health benefits.

    Weight reduction as imperative has also given us things like Fen-phen.
