More Americans Than EVER Are Taking Drugs!

And I quote:

More Americans than ever are taking prescription drugs — close to 60 percent of U.S. adults, according to new research.
And most seem to be related to obesity, with cholesterol and blood pressure drugs leading the pack, researchers report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The single most popular drug is Zocor, a cholesterol-lowering drug in a class called statins, said Elizabeth Kantor, formerly of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, and now at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The drug, known generically as simvastatin, is taken by 8 percent of the U.S. population.

The other most frequently taken drugs are anti-depressants and PPIs (for acid reflux). 

I have written blogs about the side effects of all the above-mentioned categories of drugs, including liver, kidney and cardiovascular damage from statins, the same for blood pressure drugs and osteoporosis from the PPI drug category.

I do find it alarming that we are choosing the "simple" pill-way approach as opposed to the nutritional physiological re-balancing approach to our health challenges. How sad.
