That doesn’t prove bad agriculture is the culprit for that. Bad medicine maybe. Many only need one or two meds but some may see different docs for different things so no one co-ordinates the scripts for these patients. Hence three meds for BP, multi meds for allergies, depression, ect. citing one example I can think of.
Whole unprocessed grain breads might be the best way to go but I wouldn’t lump in agriculture as one of the curses of modern civilization.
Not agriculture. genetic engineering and overuse of petrochemical pesticides, fertilizers, etc.
That is the problem.
I live in what was the nation's most fertile farmland.
Now, you cannot drink the groundwater because of Nitrate pollution.
Like most of my family members, I don’t take any meds/drugs at all-I never have and don’t intend to-pharma gives free stuff to docs who prescribe drugs to any and everyone-healthy people are better off just saying no thanks-I’ll stick with a healthy diet and natural supplements, working out and at a healthy weight on the light side...
I am over 65 and self employed full time in construction. So not all of us need any meds-I’ve also stayed away from processed, enriched or pesticide treated veggies, fruit and grains as well as any meat from feedlots, treated with hormones, etc-I do believe eating an all-organic diet and not consuming anything unnatural like drugs keeps people healthy at any age...
