I strongly disagree with this article. I am currently researching which are related to alzheimer’s disease and unlike lifestyle drugs, it takes longer and it takes more than 10 years for pharmaceutical companies to put them in the market even if it works. Some of life threating drugs, alot of them we do not know where it is coming from but lifestyle drugs we commonly know where it is coming from.
