> And are still pretty much ignored. This is says more about where you get your information. Heart disease is talked about constantly. Practically any interaction you have with a medical professional or health insurance company will involve consideration of your diet, exercise habits, how much your smoke and/or drink. The entire point of these questions is to reduce the risk of heart disease. February is National Heart Health month in the USA! Americans dedicate an entire month to talking about heart disease. A time in which we are inundated with news reports and ads about how to improve our overall well-being and reduce our risk of heart attacks. The American Heart Association is one of the most influential non-profits in the USA and they run ad campaigns, lobby politicians and healthcare providers, finance research, and issue guidelines for improving cardiac health for everyone. The same is true for cancer. There's a National Cancer Awareness Day in the USA. There are several high-profile non-profits that raise awareness and finance research into cancer. Medical professionals have guidelines for when cancer screenings should be performed, etc, etc. Cancer is not ignored; heart disease is not ignored. If you feel like you never hear about these topics, consider changing where you get your information from and perhaps you'll hear more about important topics!
