This country cannot be so exclusively focused on one thing, to the exclusion of the real killers.

I wholeheartedly agree.

The # 1 killer of women is heart attacks, yet it wasn't UNTIL THIS YEAR the AMA released for the very first time the symptoms for women heart attacks. ...

Was the #1 killer of women heart attacks 30 years ago? The number one killer of ______ changes over time. Survivability for breast cancer has increased. The incidence of smoking men vs. smoking women has gotten closer over time. More women in the workplace [higher stress]. Medical advances and societal changes affects the number 1 cause.

And here's another good one: it was until just THIS WEEK that researchers for the very FIRST time released information on hot flashes showing blood pressure dropped drastically while heart rate increased rapidly to compensate.

That's very interesting. Though I don't know how many heart attacks occur during hot flashes.

I recall that the #1 cause of occupational related deaths among women is "murder". That sucks.
