Answer :

answer:I’m 61. I don’t have arthritis. But a few years ago I was working at an assisted living center and I got a free meal as part of the job. Maybe 3 months on the job and I suddenly had trouble with my joints. They hurt! I stopped eating there and only ate “healthy” oils (olive, coconut, etc) almost overnight my painful joints disappeared. I felt bad for all the residents there. Poor folks had no idea why they felt so bad.
