The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

in younger individuals under the age of 65 cancer is still the leading cause of death in women but one of my studies that we published in the European heart Journal we track death rates in younger women under the age of 65 in the U.S looking at CDC Wonder data over a 20-year period from 1999 to 2019 and we showed during this time that actually cancer mortality has been declining in younger women which is a good thing but since 2010 heart disease mortality is no longer declining and it's actually rising in these younger women at 0.5 percent per year
so it's actually narrowing the gap between cancer deaths and heart disease deaths and the younger female population as well
that cardiovascular disease mortality is on the rise in younger women and when you look at rates of change the fastest growing heart disease death rate is in middle-aged women age 45 to 64.
