An item can be regulated by the FDA and not have FDA Approval.

I've made my point. No need to drag it out any further by splitting hairs and having hurt feelings.

Obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol are all preventable with exercise, proper diet and medication.

Hereditary.... maybe. Let's assume they can't exercise and eat properly to ward it off, or limit its effects.
Smoking? 100% preventable.
I'll tell you what.... Let's be absurd...
I'll spot you 50% of the heart related deaths as being "hereditary". That would mean an equal amount of Covid deaths and preventable heart disease deaths.
I don't understand why the burden on insurance and the healthcare system is somehow acceptable for one, but not the other?
