I'm not surprised; most deaths are attributed to unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity and alcohol consumption. [1, 2]

I'm not noticing people eating more healthily, so it only makes sense that life expectancy isn't going up anymore.

More people die of Suicide than Malaria aparently.

Somehow what actually kills people, is different from what you think kills people.
