I'm positive I'd die a slow agonizing death from COPD or cancer.
Found out I was a cystic fibrosis carrier, which is extremely rare among folks of my race. Yay, lucky me. Most carriers are asymptomatic and one normal CF gene is enough for them. BUT a minority of carriers get a "lighter" version of CF, and I'm one of them. Yay, lucky me again. I don't need O2 tank but have very stubborn chronic bronchitis. Cough all the time with phlegm; don't absorb nutrients well. The only plus side: I don't gain weight in spite of a good appetite so I can binge on any food I want and stay in shape.
As for cancer, I used to eat mostly organic food; but now I eat whatever I want. A big portion of that is processed food, BBQ meat, sugary snacks - carcinogenic junk food. Well, it is a fact that healthy food usually doesn't taste good.
