I live by that. Not a purist; I believe in supplements, especially since my weakened state means I can't always digest enough food without help.

But now it's shown that the constant steroid injections into troubled joints was a bad idea. The person would have been better off not having any treatment, sadly.

Masking the symptoms so people keep eating high profit items. That's what it is boiling down to. Because for many, lessened joint pain is worth giving up "treats." They are abusive partners, we might say.
