We've eaten useless, cancer-causing vitamin supplements for a few generations because one Nobel prize winner went crazy and went around his generation's talk show circuit claiming that vitamins could prevent cancer; he later died of cancer that might even have been caused by all the vitamins he took, but the myth was already immortal by then.
We are the only non-Jewish nation in the world with large-scale circumcision, because one doctor decided that cutting the skin off your son's dick might prevent him from masturbation. It doesn't work, and there's no good reason we should want it to anyway. Either way, we're still lopping off our kid's foreskins for zero medical benefit. In the mean time, your dick gets rug rashes when you use it too much because your great-grandad trusted a doctor who listened to a single religious zealot, or however far down the grapevine that was.
And here we have the perfect recruit for a trio of unjustifiable medical myths: the idea that humans are awful at digesting a food that allowed us to become sentient, and that the answer to our evolutionarily impossible dietary issue is modern food processing techniques. I don't know where this little gem is from, but I'm willing to bet that it took a single famous retard to convince this nation to pick up yet another stupid medical habit that's probably killing us.
The point is, don't blame some evil cabal of ruling elites for this: the masses are a mindless horde of lemmings who will gleefully run themselves off a cliff the instant someone with the slightest bit of credibility or authority suggests that it might be a good idea. It's a miracle that any governing body can keep us alive, seeing as we use authority as an excuse to let our worst traits run free.
