Because of a poor diet? Maybe; diet is only one side of this. People who die of heart disease are normally very unfit. As easy as it is to blame the scientific authorities, they should have done something about their health and taken up regular exercise.



Many of them thought they were doing something about their health. They thought they were "eating right".


Diet is has far more weight in weight (pun intended) than exercise. Just by exercising it is almost impossible to loose weight.


You are still ignorant of the latest research.


Please enlighten me!
