"Barbra Streisand: Women's Heart Disease"

There's a worldwide epidemic that women are dying from, but nobody is talking about it. Barbra Streisand and Dr. Noel Bairey Merz are now telling the story. According to Dr. Merz, "heart disease is the single biggest health threat women face."

"In the United States, 39,520 women died from breast cancer last year (2010), but nearly 500,000 women died from heart disease." "In worldwide figures, about 400,000 women die from breast cancer, but 8.6 million women die from heart disease."

"Even though heart disease has been called a man's disease, since 1984, more women have died annually from heart disease than men." It's currently the leading killer of women. "Heart disease kills more women, at all ages, than breast cancer." "Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined." "Four percent of women are diagnosed with cancer annually, whereas 44% of women are diagnosed with heart disease." "When heart disease strikes in women, half of the time it's sudden cardiac death." There's no opportunity to do anything about it. Please spend 28 minutes with these two women and learn why it's important for women to get this information. (Time 28:40)
