Yes, I agree. Even among the Okinawans, who are the healtiest and longest lived people in the world, 6 out of 100,000 people die from breast cancer each year. That was in my opening post so I'm glad you understood that "usually" doesn't mean "always".

But what must you think when you read: 6 Okinawan breast cancer deaths per 100,000 people versus 33 in the U.S.?

Buy the way, I looked up the word "deserve" in the dictionary and it has multiple meanings, as one might expect. One implies punishment but then it said "qualified" and I think that word works better to express my point. So I went back and changed it to "qualified".
