One things for certain, if there was an alternative that worked, was cheap to produce, non-copyrightable, and allowed to compete in the competitive marketplace, these pharma bros wouldn't be the billionaires they are today.

Too bad such an alternative doesn't exist, or, if it somehow did, too bad its reputation was destroyed by capitalistic interests.

Can't disagree with that, better than any drug. They should be the first prescribed thing even though they aren't. But if that happens the definition of eating healthy will be compromised by the capitalistic superorganisms, so lets at least keep that in mind [1].

Imagine being a drug kingpin, but instead of the government making your product illegal, they make it mandatory.
