Sample Book Insights:
#1 The health of our society is in critical condition, and the main cause is lifestyle-related diseases. If so much suffering and its attendant costs could be prevented through better nutrition, then why haven’t we done so.
#2 The United States has become very fixated on magic pills, which does not suggest health, but rather the normalcy of disease.
#3 The economic costs of preventable disease are unsustainable. And they are rising: in 2020, health care costs occupy nearly 18 percent of our national budget, more than three times greater than in 1960.
#4 The increase in life expectancy since the 1960s is not due to improved health, but to improved strategies for responding to disease events. More and more people are able to live longer with their diseases than before, but our overall health has not improved significantly.
