"Clusters of counties in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Alabama, and several states along the Mississippi River also had some of the lowest life expectancies."

Meth use + Mountain Dew + Cigs + Processed food = early death

Shocking revelation.

That's very interesting. Serious question (I didn't read the article) -- do a person's lifestyle choices have any bearing on their life expectancy? TIA.

The highest LE is Summit County, CO, where Breckenridge Ski Resort is. I would think that's do to it's high elevation - I don't think anywhere there is below about 8500' - which forces those with bad hearts & lungs to go somewhere else to breathe before dying.

I wish Billy Joel would move to West Virginia.

They've been pushing that health control agenda for decades. Don't believe the fake news.

That's what I used to say back in the 1970s. It turns out that everybody does.
