They get kickbacks from Big Pharma, of course, so yes, that's what they want. I'm only 41 but I'm grateful that my doctor is a young woman who would rather I be healthy than doped half to death. She doesn't like me doing Atkins but she's happy to see that I'm getting veggies in, and that even though I have lost very little weight, my BP has come down significantly in a couple of months (to a high-normal level, albeit with meds. Soon I will be normal without!).
