So on one hand you are saying that a pre-historic diet leads to an early death, but you also want to count deaths that have nothing to do with said diet? Not so fast.
Infant mortality has everything to do with medical care and very little to do with the diet. That's why infant deaths should be thrown out when talking about the diet.
If I have 3 people, one died at age 0, one died at age 50 and one died at age 60, the average lifespan is about 36.5. Clearly misleading. I don't think people realize just how high infant mortality was prior to the advent of modern medicine.
