"...twice as many Americans are estimated to die each year from eating hot dogs and other processed meats (~58,000 deaths/year) than from car accidents (~35,000 deaths/year)"
Read this and more revelations about our diet in Want to fix America's health care? First, focus on food.
As mentioned before by other medical professionals, 75% of our diseases are due to our diet. And yet, the fad tells us that we need to build "precision medicine", based upon our genetic makeup.
Guess what, our grandparents with the same "genetic makeup" did not suffer the diseases we have today simply because they did not indulge on fast food and sugar-laden goodies.
"Precision medicine" feeds the ego of a limited number of "elite" researchers and medical professionals, and pads their pockets. Developing this type of health care and research will have no effect on the health status of the nation.
