Diverticulosis is a baby boomer disease, prevalent among aging Westerners - one in 10 Americans over 40, both men and women, have it, according to the National Institutes of Health. By age 60, one in three Americans develop the tell-tale colonic bulges, and two-thirds of Americans over 85 suffer from the disorder, according to Strate's study. The exact causes of diverticulosis are poorly understood, Strate says, but a leading culprit appears to be the Western diet...
