Heart Disease
Spaz, The Great American Woman asked:


How can The Powers That Be compare the two? A broad category shouldn’t be compared with a single entity. There are numerous types of cancer, but ‘heart disease’ is specific. Isn’t that like saying “fruit has replaced corn as children’s favorite food”?
Again, I say “A broad category shouldn’t be compared with a single entity”… Please answer the whole question, not just the initial one.

Thank you.

Scott
