If you've ever wondered what you're most likely to die from at any given time, check out this data visualization posted to Reddit by UCanDoEat.

The 2010 data is from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (check out their website for an interactive version of the chart), and it provides an interesting look into the most common causes of death for different age brackets.

2. Heart disease is growing for women. I think lack of Cod Liver Oil might be a factor.

Up until 1960, cod liver oil was a staple to prevent rickets. But it also has omega 3 fatty acids and other trace minerals vitamins and elements. So, everyone was getting stuff to clean out their arteries. Now, we are all Vit D def--and, if we think about it, we take Vit D. But we do not get the fish oil.

Not sure that eating fish liver is a good idea right now, with all the toxins in the water. However, cod liver oil is about 1000 years old---it is what Vikings used to keep from getting rickets in the far northern latitudes where Africans were not meant to live but where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream made a habitable environment.

Anyone know of any clean, nontoxic non yucky tasting fish liver oil?
