Sadly, the pathos is all in NT's response, which is about as pathetically inadequate as they come - few people who post here are quite as pathetically inadequate at constructing any kind of reasoned argument as NT.
He's good on reiterated assertion, but has learned to avoid anything more demanding (and revealing).

Black is black. (I want my baby back)
But really, Black people do seem to have more problems with it. I am not sure how much is diet and how much is heredity, but whatever it it, it is,
Bottom line is cholesterol in your blood belongs combined with other things that you lack. The cartilage in your arms and legs n shit are cholesterol. That cholesterol build you, but now lacks the proper other components.
I can't tell you what to eat, but if you tell me your lineage, health history of your Parents and Grandparents, an write down everything to eat an drink for a couple of weeks I can probably find the problem. Probably. When you deal with people nothing is absolute.
But it would take time to even get it going. Write a short bio of how your Parents died and when, and if opssible what they ate, and then what you ate when young, and after that recent daily.
Know how many people are going to do that ?
Many are dead.

If this creates reproductive isolation you tend to get new species.
Science fiction has us moving into space, which would do it, but this isn't the only way it could happen, and granting how bad science fiction is at prophecy it's unlikely to happen that way at all.
