Is there any long term population study that you know of that suggests that drug taking populations do as well as non-drug taking populations? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, the Okinawa study shows that Okinawans are not only healthier, but they live longer than Americans. They don't believe in taking drugs or vitamins and we do. Good health and longevity doesn't come from taking drugs.

Well, you could say that medical intervention, including taking medicine is causing something good to happen. We are definitely living longer and more of us are living longer than we did a hundred years ago. I respectively submit that you may be proceeding from an illogical premise.
