healthier more beautiful ...

interesting passage from an article by Maurizio Blondet :

In the United States where health care is totally private, an American spends 40% more than an Englishman to health, but was taken ill with diabetes twice. And regardless of social class, in fact: the richest third of Americans are on average more shabby and sick in the third of England's most poveri.E that, despite the British are more heavy drinkers and heavy smokers. The reason is
ovvio.Le private health insurance does not cover minor expenses and modest health care that can prevent diseases like diabetes, while paying the extreme actions - such as amputation of limbs - that become necessary at the end of the course of diabetic though more expensive, these 'therapies' are less frequent than preventing massa.Il English health system spends a little more in prevention, and thus saves on heroic interventions and destructive finali.Tra 55 and 64 years, diabetes and hypertension twice as devastating Americans and British. Of course, there is to keep in mind that Americans work 46 weeks a year and for several hours each day, up from 41 the inglesi.E could be called into question the power that the USA is totally industriale.Per attach customers to their products, food businesses USA make them "more flavorful." And the cheapest way to make tasty food, and add salt and grassi.Abituati these tastes from childhood, American children will eat the same things as adults. Two out of five will end up monstrously obese.

course we must weed out the usual sensationalism of the editor, but I think it does not diverge much from the truth.
Another key passage:

scientific and medical association, the American Society for Hypertension, has enunciated a new and broader definition of hypertension. First, the diagnosis of hypertension was based on just one element: a pressure blood than 140/90.Oggi, the association says, "hypertensive" patient who has a pressure less than that, but are certain other symptoms deductible by specific analysis.
The new definition is not at all scientific. E 'due to the fact that the American Society for Hypertension has received a donation of $ 75,000 from three pharmaceutical giants, Novartis, Merck, and Sankyo, with the promise of another 700 thousand dollars to promote the new definition of primary care physicians, invited a dinner of "information" for this purpose. (3) The pharmaceutical companies wanted to create new patients, by paying a gratuity to doctors specialists. To have high blood pressure over 140/90 are as many as 64 million Americans, but that is not enough to business.Ci are another 59 million who have pressure 120/80: pathological define "pre-hypertensive" means opening a new huge market for drugs, to the great advantage of the financial statements.

Oh well ... also the rest of the article is worth to be read ...
