Doesn't sound too cynical to me. After all, sick people need lots of expensive medication, outrageously priced medical tests, etc, etc. Sick is big business. I personally think the body is like an amazing high performance automobile. You put in crappy, cheap fuel and it'll run like crap and eventually start to break down prematurely. Give it premium fuel and the results are pretty amazing. Just look at most of the food in the grocery store. Bread shouldn't have 30 ingredients, most of which you can't even pronounce.
