I thought that heart disease was the biggest killer.
plenty skinny fit healthy eating peeps die from heat disease.

I hope it is not an excuse to get fat? In relative terms, wouldn't you think overweight people suffer more from weight related health issues and deaths, as opposed to fit people who probably overdid their exercise routines, and kick the bucket?

Interlocking corporate directorships, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlocking_directorate
The people that sit on the board of the corn products industry which makes all the corn syrup (sugar) and the sugar cane industry board also sit on the boards of the food products industries. They push to get more sugar added to nearly all food products. I mean really, is sugar necessary in potato crips? salad dressing? fish sticks? of course not but it makes food taste better so it's a race to the end.

And why's that? SUGAR!

Have you seen the difference between a human heart and that of other mammals? Trust me, we're killing ourselves.

Less processed foods is really the answer and no added SUGAR
