In your discussion post, discuss two instances of increased disease and underlying causes. Discuss how you think the medical and scientific community must respond.

Please respond thoughtfully and in your own terms, backing up each statement of fact with referred sources. Your response must be at least 125 words. Additionally, thoughtfully and objectively critique responses from two of your peers. Be precise in your critique. If you find out something your peer said to be interesting, then state specifically why. If you find out an error in something your peer said, then politely indicate the error and mention the sources supporting your statement. Be sure to focus your analysis on the facts presented and not on person or anything in the response which might be interpreted as opinion.
