Uncovering the Interconnected Nature of Chronic Diseases

The chapter explores the fragmented nature of medical practices and how specialization limits understanding of chronic conditions like diabetes, depression, and high cholesterol. It critiques the profit-driven healthcare system that prioritizes symptom management over addressing root causes, influenced by big food and pharmaceutical industries. The discussion sheds light on the collaboration between these industries in shaping health information and influencing medical recommendations, leading to potential overprescription and financial interests driving medical decisions.
