Heart Disease Facts

[RoyParker]

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart disease in 2015 were in men.

About 630,000 Americans die from heart disease each year—that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.

Watch "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix or YouTube for more detailed information. It is about global medical health research and the findings, including a massive study of 800,000 Chinese people. You might find it helpful, I did.

Thanks for this. I have read it and it raises some good points. However, I will keep up with my diet because it appears to be working. I will discuss the diet with my doctor.

Is it being so cheerful that keeps you going? Not sure I wanted to know that!
