When there is a plane crash, it makes headline news for days.
How absolutely insidious and unacceptable it would it be if this event took place every day for a month. Yet just about a million people are dying of heart disease every year and about half a million from cancer. That would be the equivalent of a jumbo jet filled with people crashing every single day, of every week, of every month, of every year. Regrettably, we have come to accept this pernicious trend.
Newspaper headlines and TV news are full of motor vehicle accidents, suicides, homicides, falls, and poisonings. By no means am I attempting to minimize those tragedies; but they leave us with a somewhat distorted view of reality.
The real picture is this: there is another tragedy going on, a huge tragedy. And that is the tragedy of chronic degenerative disease, the real story of life and death in North America. If you total all deaths due to injury, it comes to 6%. In contrast, 31% of all deaths in North America are due to heart disease, 24% of all deaths are due to cancer, 8% to stroke, and 4% to lung disease. When you tally these, chronic degenerative disease accounts for 72% of all deaths in our society.
The bottom line is this: we are 12 times more likely to die from chronic degenerative disease than we are from a tragic accident.
Chronic degenerative diseases are NOT diseases of old age. Scientists have looked for the beginnings of heart disease, osteoporosis, type II diabetes, and so forth, in children, adolescence, and young adults and they have found them.

On page 2 of this report is a graph and under the graph is another link to the NationalCenter for Health Statistics.
NationalCenter for Health Statistics is the Federal Government's principal vital and health statistics agency; it provides a wide variety of data with which to monitor the Nation's health. The NationalCenter for Health Statistics (NCHS) is a part of the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To meet priority data needs for public health, NCHS works closely with other Federal agencies as well as researchers and academic institutions.
Chronic degenerative disease begins in childhood and develops into debilitating conditions day by day over a lifetime.
