One of the big myths about healthcare today is that we are living longer . When you take Infant mortality and improved sanitation out of the equation it becomes clear that we are not living longer than our ancestors. Today we are dealing with higher incidents of cancer, diabetes and dealing with deceases that were once unheard of like autism and Alzheimer's.

Great grandma  may have worked in the fields late in life whereas a sixty year old today has numerous health concerns and cannot get around as well. The quality of life is actually decreasing due to degenerative illnesses.  It has been improved sanitation that has led to the reduction in the infant mortality rate and the appearance of an overall longer life expectancy.

A little over a century ago Healthcare workers did not understand the need to wash their hands before dealing with a patient. A woman that went to the hospital to give birth did not expect to leave with the child  and knew there was a good probability that she would not survive the doctors care.
Fluoride, High fructose corn syrup and GMO foods are just some of the things that our bodies must endured that past generations never dealt with.

50% of the high fructose  products tested where shown to have mercury in them.
Contributes to obesity and diabetes.

If you want to control people food has a much greater impact than dollars. One can barter personal items or his service if they lack money to acquire the things they need. If you do not have access to food you must submit to the will of those who do or starve.

Monsanto who brought you aspartame ( a substance that has been shown to cause cancerous tumors in lab rats) is attempting to corner the food market via genetically modified seeds and government subsidies.
These Franken foods (genetically modified foods) are not required to be identified as such in the United States,  sadly Americans consume these products everyday without ever knowing.
Preserve your health, eat organic as often as you can.

Fluoride has a dubious history, it is a byproduct of aluminum production. It is highly toxic, this makes it difficult and costly to dispose of. The solution  became to claim it had health benefits via tooth decade prevention. This led to fluoridated drinking water in many cities and fluoride in toothpaste.
Fluoride is a neurotoxin which effects brain chemistry. Hitler used it in concentration camps to control prisoners, it was said to make them more susceptible to influence, less likely to rebel.
