I don't know if it's correct to say the FDA or equivalents around the world are at war against public health. All the doctors I ever saw stressed exercise for mood disorders and physical ailments and often resisted prescribing drugs. At the same time, the public often resists physical exercise and better diet. Doctors know this so what are they supposed to do, not prescribe the metformin or Ozempic because someone is lazy? I know 'big food' and 'big pharma' fund studies and can influence what dietary habits are recommended but I think it's also true that many scientists have actually tried to find out what the best diet recommendations are. Cholesterol probably wasn't demonized because scientists wanted to keep people sick, that's what a lot of the day's science seemed to point at as being the culprit for heart disease. For as long as I've been around it seems the recommendation has been the 'mediterranean diet' as being among the best. But then many feel this rec was just another attempt to keep the population sick and sell drugs. But what is the best diet for keeping the most people healthy? The anti-FDA conspiracy theorists can't even agree on such things as fiber, fruit, vegetables, one says these are toxins and the other says these are essential for health. One says milk is a killer only fit for cows offspring, the other says raw milk is the foundation for health. Some say carbs are evil period, whereas even some former keto carnivores have come to the conclusion that you benefir from some insulin push, for example to actually take up and not leech required minerals, so they eat some honey daily now. And if carbs are the main problem with diets, how to explain the long living Japanese who subsist on rice?
Covid polarized people around the world. The Belarussian president went completely off the script, the intl concensus, and said the best treatment for Covid was driving a tractor and drinking vodka. Maybe he was the only one not influenced by fake science and big pharma and was thus correct.
