    if he didn’t say abortion restrictions, anti vaxers, and COVID then I will be disappointed

    The video title seems a bit misleading from Dr. Greger.
    Here are the statistics if you want to dive in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

    If you look at the US, life expectancy has been increasing (barely) from 76.64 in 2000 to 76.98 in 2020. [Obviously COVID brought that number down](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/vsrr/vsrr023.pdf) after that.

    I’m guessing what the video is alluding to is the relative decline compared to other countries, which absolutely can be attributable to a poor SAD diet in the US. Good visual of the bigger countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy#/media/File:Life_expectancy_in_some_big_countries.png
