WHile breast cancer as a single cause is #1 for women in their 40's, if you lump all heart disease together (ie, add up heart attacks at 5% of deaths along with heart disease other), heart disease indeed surpasses breast cancer by a few percent, but not cancers overall. Hope I have not misled. I don;t think this changes the overall post much. Thank for the link I clarified the mortality numbers in my post.
