Question 1

were kids raised in 1940s healthier than those raised in 1950s?

Accepted Answer

I think so: I was in england and rationing decreased calorie intake. Everyone was healthy. We in america eat far too much and a great deal of it is empty calories. After the war the calories went up and health declined. Unhealthy diet is a huge cause of disease and the health in this country now is appalling.

Accepted Answer

Circumvalate Papilla: Those are normal taste buds that you are looking at.  However, just to make sure see your dentist.

Question 3

is slightly raised cholesterol is of concern?

Out of context: For a 22 year old?  No one in American medicine even recommends cholesterol testing for someone in their 20s. Second, cholesterol is a panel, not one test.  Your question does not reference the panel. Thus interpretation is impossible.
