yes, except heart disease (~600k deaths/yr in US alone), cancer (~550k/yr in US), lower respiratory (~150k), cerebrovascular (~130k), alzheimer's (~80k), diabetes (~75k), influenza & pneumonia (~55k), nephrotic syndrone (47k)
1.6 million people dead every year (bout half a percent of our pop). the numbers were increasing last i checked so i would suggest nature is doing a decent job catching up to our lifestyles

some suggest population will disasterously plummet in some regions of the world when fertility lowers below the golden 2 children-per-family line, but since we're (probably) not scientists here, i guess we shouldnt be making such claims without evidence/citation/logic
it is fun tho
