3. That's an amazing chart

Are we so polluted that doctors can't treat us? They don't give us the bad news because they know we won't listen? That's my beef with them. They treat symptoms and never get to the root cause because it's bad for business. They manage illness for profit, or at least for office visits. They won't confront metabolic syndrome. Tell you to eat a little less carbs but never connect it to diabetes. It's like they allow you to become sick. What are we paying them for again?

Or does the chart reflect high drug prices? And palatial hospitals? Would be interesting to see if there's any variability on longevity in the US on wealthy hospitals vs. old community hospitals.

We've abandoned ancestral dietary patterns for beer and potato chips. Organic goat milk cheeses. Gone. Light on calories. Gone. Legumes. Never heard of them.
