Kill the Economy

102. You forget one thing

A lot of what we know about nutrition comes from modern science...Now, did the ancients know many things?, Yes, and this comes from someone that still uses herbal remedies that he learned from his mother and grandmother, which he purchases at shops for that purpose (such as Botanicas and Health food shops). However, until Science learned what caused what, much of herbal remedies were hit and miss. Until science revealed what Vitamin C was, vegetables were not considered as nutritious as meat; many nobles actually died from scurvy. Leeches were folk medicine, killing people like George Washington. No one understood what these leeches did, but it was hit or miss as to whatever effect they had. fast forward a few centuries, and science allowed people to understand how the circulatory system works, make medicine based on that, and even make leeches useful, or rather, the anti-clotting agents they make, so that it could be applied to deadly blood clots. It is the difference between blind intuition, and actually being able to make INFORMED ACTION, based on proven,reliable results.
