History of Health in America

1901 - The consensus among world authorities was that the US was the healthiest nation in the world. We’re talking about chronic degenerative disease. We had more doctors, nurses, and the best sanitation in the world.

1920 - The US dropped to third place. Why? Sweat shops; smoke stacks, refrigerators, electric lights, automobiles and their effect?

1945 - We were healthiest nation again. Why? WWII. We had victory gardens, lights off at dusk, rationing of gas, sugar, chocolate, gasoline, meat, alcohol, rubber tires. Less medical care.(The doctors were away at war)

1950 - We dropped to 5^th place

1972 - We dropped to 43^rd.

1978 - We dropped 81^st place

1981 - We fell to 95^th place of the 100 in the United Nations as far as chronic health conditions. Why? We were richest nation in the world, overuse of antibiotics, and birth control pills. It became illegal to sell non-pasteurized milk in 49 of the 50 states. There was fast, unhealthy food on every corner.

What is the relationship between highly processed food and degenerative health conditions. The numbers speak for themselves.
