The root cause is aging. You can exercise religiously and never touch sugar, and at best that will result in racking up huge medical bills in your eighties rather than your sixties.

Also if you die in your 80s you will have collected way more social security money then if you die in your 60s. I wouldn't be surprised if things like smoking which tend to kill you right before retirement age actually saves us money as a society.
