No vack-seens and no toxic chemicals in their immediate environment.

How do we know that they don't die of cancer?

Sorry, guys, but Amish DO die of cancer, like anyone else.  While it’s true they rarely get certain types of cancer when compared with the general population, the idea that being Amish  means you live in a toxin and carcinogen free environment is just not true.  
I personally know of a woman who died of pancreatic cancer in 2021, age 38, left her husband with 11 children including an eight month old.  Another man died of lung cancer.  Perhaps Amish deaths from cancer don’t always appear in official statistics because they tend to forgo radical, expensive treatments, preferring to pass away at home, not in a hospital, even if it means death comes sooner.

Wow, I think I like that.  Probably we need to all get more use to that way of going out... b/c that's how it used to be before modern 'miracle' medicine and most people breathing their last in a hospital room away from family & friends...
