Health Care of America
I find it amazing that, with the increased use of prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter medications, we have more disease now than 50 years ago. Why do we have more disease today than 50 years ago? Today, between the fast food restaurants, TV advertising and the 40,000 “new“ packaged foods in supermarkets made up of primarily refined carbohydrates, sugar, vegetable oils, salt and flavoring, people fill their bellies with this type of food but are completely deficient in daily nutrients. Commercial interests have influenced the change in diet that has brought on the increase of cardiovascular disease, strokes and cancer. Doctors try to overcome the lack of nutrients with drugs, but I don’t know anybody who is deficient in medication. Drugs are a total band-aid approach.
