It may surprise you, but modern scientists know exactly what foods and nutrients the body needs to prevent most diseases that shorten life and make living painful. And they know exactly why Americans are getting fat and sick.
All the confusion over which foods are healthful and which foods cause obesity and disease, the reason for all the conflicting information is that for each and every food and product, good or bad, people are working overtime to convince you theirs is best so they can make more money.
Unfortunately, there’s more profit in selling cheaply produced unhealthy foods and patented products. So we’re constantly bombarded by misinformation until almost everyone thinks the unhealthy foods and patented products are best. They even pay hundreds of millions of dollars to Harvard and other medical schools and their professors to promote products to students.
So, almost everyone, especially medical school students and doctors, base their opinions on the advertisements and huge marketing campaigns of the most profitable food and pharmaceutical companies. The science of nutrition can’t compete with the profit motive.
