Facebook is bad for your health

This year, 480,000 U.S. Facebook users w HTML clipboardill die, and 1.78 million of them internationally, which works out to about three every minute.

This data comes from Entrustet, a so-called digital asset planning company, which analyzed data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control along with information served by Facebook's advertising platform.

The digital asset management company determined that Facebook lost almost 200,000 users under the age of 14. While the numbers could be skewed for various reasons, most likely the statistic includes duplicate accounts getting purged from the site.

Facebook data shows that those 25 to 54 are declining on the site, while those 64 and older represent 50 percent of new user deaths on Facebook.
