Why, then, as we take more and more of these pharmaceuticals, are we living longer and longer and longer?
If what you say is true, it should be the other way around.

Myth!
We are not living longer as a group. We as a group still live the Biblical “three score and ten” plus presently two years.
Promoting the myth is just as evil as making the drugs.
Throughout the world, the longest living people are those that eschew all drugs and processed fake foods. They offset the rest that die in their 50s and 60s. When people from long living cultures come to the west, they quickly begin to die at earlier ages.
