peasants of medieval times

in 1348 over half of england was wiped out buy the black death a cure was not found intill the 1890's so most people did not survive but those who did may not have survived past ther 60's becouse of the unsanitary conditons however cancer was rare in the 14th century and diet was good among the nobles but high blood pressure did exist among the peasants so many died from a heart attack, the reason why cancer and tumors were so rare is becouse of no tobacco and no polution since england was a farming sociity ther were no factorys or cars to pollute the air cancer is a modern illness coused buy modern times however it seems if one illness like the black death go's away a new one takes its place like cancer
