RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Six years ago today, I was the $100 question on “who wants to be a millionaire.”
You may be thinking that you’ve heard to punch a shark to get it away from you. Punching underwater is great low impact exercise for seniors but is otherwise of limited utility.
