12 truths the healthcare industry doesn't want you to know:

Thread🧵
Modern medications don't increase lifespan. They just pad Big Pharma's wallet.

Calorie restriction, and therefore weight management, remains one of the most effective ways to extend life.

Placebo and nocebo effects are often as strong or stronger than medications or surgery.
