> dying in their early to late 60's - almost always due to heart disease, liver failure or some sort of cancer In a "Death and Dying" psych class I took in university, the professor remarked how we went from dying from infectious diseases to dying from lifestyle issues. I'm not sure how true or false this is, but when one isn't going to die from the flu you might live long enough to die from consuming too much bacon and alcohol. I'm interested in learning more about this idea.
