Calley Means at the American Health and Nutrition Roundtable: “If you remove advancements from infectious and acute conditions, life expectancy has not increased in the past 100 years.”
“We spend 90% to 95% of all medical spending on chronic issues, and it's done nothing.”
“The medicalization of chronic disease in the past 50 years has been an abject failure.“
“Heart disease has gone up as more statins are prescribed. Type II diabetes has gone up as more metformin is prescribed. ADHD has gone up as more Adderall is prescribed.
Depression and suicide has gone up as more SSRIs are prescribed. Pain has gone up as more opioids are prescribed. Cancer has gone up as we've spent more on cancer.
Now J.P. Morgan, literally, at the conference in San Francisco recently, they put up a graph, and they showed as more Ozempic is projected to be prescribed over the next 10 years, obesity rates are going to go up as more Ozempic is prescribed.”
“Ninety percent of medical costs are from a weaponized food system. It's not that complicated.”
“Those scientists weaponized our ultra-processed food. That is the problem with ultra-processed food. You have the best scientists in the world creating this food to be palatable and to be addictive.”
“When it comes to the chronic conditions that are plaguing our lives, we should distrust almost every institution regarding nutrition or chronic disease advice.”
“It's the trillions of dollars of incentives that are in the way, and we must urgently removecorruption from the USDA, the CDC, the NIH, and our other medical institutions and get appropriate medical guidelines. We must renounce the Flexner Report and prioritize root cause interventions and systems thinking to reverse the chronic disease crisis.”
