But here's the kicker: most disease is closely related to choices.

The top three leading causes of death (in the US) are heart disease, cancer and stroke. The top three actual causes of death -- the activities leading to these causes -- are tobacco use, poor diet with physical inactivity and alcohol consumption.

Is heart disease not a disease because people give it to themselves?
