The leading causes of death according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are the following:

  1. Heart Disease

  2. Cancer

  3. COPD - Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

  4. Strokes

  5. Accidents

  6. Alzheimer's Disease

  7. Diabetes

  8. Kidneys

  9. Respiratory Infections

  10. Suicide

  11. Blood Infection

  12. Chronic Liver Disease and Cirrhosis

  13. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

  14. Parkinson's Disease

  15. Pneumonitis (pneumonia) due to fluids and liquids

"These are the top 15 reasons why Americans die. A plant-based diet can help prevent nearly all of them, can help treat half of them." I credit the ingenious Dr. Michael Greger (MD) with the statistics posted in his videos and leave you the link to his website and the video from which I took notes. Please don't take my word for anything. Do your own research. You can subscribe to Dr. Greger's Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/NutritionFactsOrg

Dr. Gregor needs to make a steemit. he accepts bitcoin!

Absolutely!

Love this guy. Doesn't matter what's wrong with you. The answer is the same for everything. A low fat plant based diet! He has made it a lot easier to convince others to give it a try. I go to nutritionfacts.org first.

Yep, and he's taking his research mainstream!

I also highly recommend researching Dr. Greger's work. His book "How Not To Die", along with his video presentation by the same name can be life changing.

He's a hell of a guy. Very selfless.

Veganonomics. Lol. Hey, if it adds 15 years to yours life... yeah!
