can not reduce the risk of death. Neither can any medicine, life style change, surgery, etc. The risk of death is 1:1. I don't know why it bothers me so much. I feel the use of phrases like "reduces the risk of death" are symptoms of a serious collective psychosis in our culture.

It is well understood that death is inevitable. It just means that it increases life expectancy, which it does. You are probably increasing your "risk of death" worrying about this.
