Health Care

Scientists examine teeth of skeletons and discover that our ancestors had more healthy bacteria in their mouths and therefore had much healthier teeth.

"Scientists analyzed examples of this oral bacteria in teeth from different historic periods to see how it compared with the diseases evident in other previously studied skeletons from that time period. As it turns out, ancient hunter-gatherers actually had pretty good dental health, as evidenced by their healthy teeth and diverse bacterial populations. Things didn’t start going downhill until the Neolithic period, about 10,000 years ago."

That's when their diet switched to eating grains.

"Then came the industrial revolution in the mid 1800s, when processed flour and sugar took over. Diets became even more carbohydrate-rich, and bacterial diversity plummeted. With less diversity in mouth bacteria, these microbiomes lost their resilience."

Another disease of civilization that can be overcome by adopting a paleo lifestyle.

The science behind junk food. Junk food creators won't eat it.

Here's another problem created by government. Big Pharma resists negotiating over Medicare drug prices.

"“PhRMA opposes implementing Medicaid’s failed price controls in Medicare Part D,” said Jenni Brewer, spokeswoman for the trade group, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). “Such policies would fundamentally alter the competitive nature of the program, undermine its success and potentially cost hundreds of thousands of American jobs.”"

Here we go with the doublespeak. Negotiating prices is price controls.Of course government doesn't negotiate anything. It dictates. This is another conflict that wouldn't exist unless created by government. Government is no the solution. It's the problem.

Government's Big Ag policies not only harm our health, they harm our environment.
