Life Expectancy and Mortality Rates in the United States, 1959-2017 | Population Health 

US life expectancy increased for most of the past 60 years, but the rate of increase slowed over time and life expectancy decreased after 2014. A major contributor has been an increase in mortality from specific causes (eg, drug overdoses, suicides, organ system diseases) among young and middle-aged adults of all racial groups, with an onset as early as the 1990s and with the largest relative increases occurring in the Ohio Valley and New England. The implications for public health and the economy are substantial, making it vital to understand the underlying causes.

So wow, this is all since 1990, when my first child was born?  What did I notice with my first child?  Well, we would go-out to eat once a week. McDonald's and Burger King were cheaper and faster than any food anywhere, while Chilies was doing good. These were much the same foods shipped in by Sysco!  TV and video games were used as baby-sitters. I could get home each night and have a beer or two. . . while most of my peers would empty a 6-pack and nearly everything was made out of Corn-syrup. . . 

Ah yes, that's when the GMOs got started and all the food we ate was corn-syrup and processed crap made in a lab instead of made in the Earth or a Garden. They had stopped the cigarettes, or made significant efforts to stop all the poisons put into tobacco to make them addictive, BUT NO ONE had a clue that most other consumer foods were equally laced with shit for the same reasons.

Interesting to note how much these sugars and toxins became so wide-spread in everything we could purchase and consume. And I recall how hard it was to get real food for my children, and how easy it was NOT TO!

 Thank You Jesus Christ for Creating The Way of Your Word!

What about this experience inspires you now?

I helped a friend with a death last night. . . 42 and died of a heart-attack. . . ie too much sugar!   I Love You Dearest Loving Lord Jesus Christ.

“The whole country is at a health disadvantage compared to other wealthy nations,” the study’s lead author, Dr. Steven Woolf of Virginia Commonwealth University, said. “We are losing people in the most productive period of their lives. Children are losing parents. Employers have a sicker work force.”
