Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?
According to the CDC, the US currently spends about $3.8 trillion every year on healthcare. That’s up a shocking 30 percent from the $2.6 trillion we spent back in 2009 (adjusted for inflation).

It’s been said that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. I see this playing out all the time in my career as a nutrition coach, especially when the subject of fats comes up with my clients.
