That depends.  Would it be to discuss anti-smoking, drinking, and
drug-taking campaigns, what sorts of exercize are best, environment
and  occupational medicine, immunizations, weight control?  

Or would it simply be another forum for vitamin
quacks to discuss how many times the RDA of vitamin X or fubarium
are necessary to avoid an early demise?  If the latter, let's
start it now and call it alt.med.prevent and leave the sci out.
