People need more discipline and to make better decisions.
But America is no worse of a situation than any other country. You're taking a fine tooth comb to America but you can find equally terrible things everywhere.
Why aren't you blaming China?
This whole world is messed up.
My dude, I'm singling us out because I care about what goes on here mores. The majority of supermarkets are full of unhealthy foods, meanwhile have 1 or 2 isles of organic alternatives.
Instead of healthy alternatives, Doctors prescribe meds like they're candy, even though these same meds poison our system.
Don't take it out of context.
Im assuming poison our system you mean side effects? All medications have side effects. There isn't one medication on this planet that doesn't have a side effect.
Aspirin; as an antiplatelet and anti inflammatory that is needed for heart attacks and coronary artery disease can cause the side effect of GI bleeds and ulcers
Plaquenil: A mainstay for the treatment of Lupus, can affect vision
Furosemide: A needed medication for the swelling in heart failure, can cause decreased potassium in your body
Lisinopril: A needed medication for heart failure and the worsening of kidney problems in diabetics, can cause increased potassium, and rarely a potentially life threatening condition called angioedema (which can happen in a matter of weeks to decades later)
Every Antibiotics that physicians give out and is prescribed has a potential side effects.
All these meds undergo multiple trials before being given to the pubic. Without these meds, the progression of alot of these chronic diseases will get worse, and cause increased mortality potentially to these patients.
And Doctors do suggest healthy alternatives, but sometimes patients don't follow those alternatives cause they take to long sometimes to see the positive benefit and other reasons.
Appreciate the pharmaceutical glossary reply and understand the need for critical meds. My point is that there are dozens of meds that don't fit the critical types you mentioned in your post.

The Most Dangerous Over-the-Counter Cold Medications
Advil. You probably have some Advil around your house. ...
Tylenol PM. Beware if you're taking Tylenol PM. ...
Aspirin. Aspirin is a staple in many cabinets. ...
NyQuil. NyQuil can actually be addicting. ...
Sudafed Congestion. Sudafed doesn't come without its risks. ...
Children's Dimetapp Cough & Cold. Even kid's medicines aren't always safe.
Additionally mentioned in my post were genetic modified foods that have been acknowledged to cause clogged arteries that lead to these medications you described. Also, Washington is full of interest groups that paid millions to senators and congressmen to pass or block legislation prohibiting certain medications or foods. List goes on and on.
My point is that we've been exposed to the overall health of the nation and folks over 50. After years of eating garbage and pumping themselves with garbage medications.
