Species,

You need to distribute that table to everyone who can vote. It needs to go to our Congressmen and Senators. It needs to go across president Bush's desk. This has to stop.

[Full Court]

can you direct me to a source for that table? I'd like to quote it.

Worldwide, right?

What about Cancer (general)?

Interesting that the other diseases are not "preventable." Will have to defer to doctors on this. But Cardio disease has a huge genetic component. Diet may contribute to the disease, but funny how health experts change -- eggs are bad for you, eggs are good for you, margarine is better for you than butter, margarine is worse for you than butter....

AIDS -- you don't practice certain types of risky behavior and you wont get it. Very simple.

Do you have a link to the source for that?
