Page "reviews" Paragraph 621

Despite his personal distaste for obesity ( `` disgusting '' ), Dr. Keys has only an incidental interest in how much Americans eat.

What concerns him much more is the relationship of diet to the nation's No. 1 killer: coronary artery disease, which accounts for more than half of all heart fatalities and kills 500,000 Americans a year -- twice the toll from all varieties of cancer, five times the deaths from automobile accidents.
