Figure 6: Diabetes death rates among adults 45 and over, by family income and gender
Diabetes is strongly associated with economic factors that differ from industrialized nations to developing nations. In developed countries, "low-income" means poor access to healthy foods, the most affordable diet being one that actually creates a diabetic physiology?nutrient-poor foods high in calories from processed sugar and hydro-genated oils. |

 Americans spend less than 10 percent of their income on food; they also spend less than a half hour a day preparing meals and little more than an hour enjoying them.* For most people for most of history, gathering and preparing food has been an occupation at the very heart of daily life. Traditionally people have allocated a far greater proportion of their income to food—as they still do in several of the countries where people eat better than we do and as a consequence are healthier than we are.^ Here, then, is one way in which we would do well to go a little native: backward, or

 Their compensation is based on their ability to increase prescriptions in their territory and their loyalty to the company and its product line is directly related to their income. Pharmaceutical sales reps will typically jump from one drug company to another with the hopes of landing the opportunity to push blockbuster drugs that offer long-term, guaranteed income potential.
One of the many ways drug reps achieve their sales targets is with samples passed from the drug company to the sales reps to the physicians and on to their patients to see what works. |

 Besides being a middle-aged woman, other risk factors for developing FM later in life include lower income, less education, and a prior history of lower back pain. Although there is no information as to whether a relation exists among these three factors, one guess would be that women with lower income and less education might do more physically demanding jobs that could lead to injury. Trauma of some sort is commonly reported at the outset of symptoms. The trauma can be from an injury or even following serious surgery. |

 Ironically, for those farmers who remain the rising gap between their income and their costs is compensated by subsidies from the federal government. As prices drop, subsidies provided by the Commodity Credit Corporation to farmers increase to compensate for loss of income. Thus, the thirty-five billion dollars in payments to corn farmers during that span of plummeting prices from 1996 to 2005 amounted, at least partially, to a personal subsidy by every American taxpayer to the agricultural biotechnology industry. |

 Surgeons are well compensated, with a median net (after expenses!) income of $240,000, the highest of any of the physician specialties. In one online self-report survey in 2002, cardiologists claimed the largest annual income of all surgeons, $475,000 (a nonsurgical specialty, radiology, was next at $415,000).3
Once again, Fran and I are reminded of who the real doctors are! and are not!

 Beyond this, given that healthy, normal people in North America have an average income of roughly $40,000 annually and pay income tax of about $8,000, the loss of society per schizophrenic in tax is roughly $300,000 during the 40 -year life span of their illness. Fortunately, many of these costs can be eliminated with the use of vitamin B-3 to treat schizophrenia, not to mention the human toll in suffering and suicide among schizophrenia patients and their families.

 The prevailing pharmaceutical and physician groups will attempt to prolong their sources of income as long as possible. Pharmaceutical companies have already infiltrated the FDA, the National Cancer Institute and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, in order to maintain their income stream. Alternative medicine advocates only facilitate the status quo and the domination of toxic cancer therapies when they continue to embarrass themselves by embracing marginal therapies. |

 A landscape's soil budget is just like a family budget, with income, expenses, and savings. You can live off your savings for only so long before you run out of money. A society can remain solvent by drawing off just the interest from nature's savings account—losing soil only as fast as it forms. But if erosion exceeds soil production, then soil loss will eventually consume the principal. Depending on the erosion rate, thick soil can be mined for centuries before running out; thin soils can disappear far more rapidly. |

 This is where, back in 1859, the world's first successful oil well was drilled, but oil has come and gone, right along with the economy: The median income is now $25,000; 16 percent of the town is below the poverty line; and a few years back, about 75 percent of the kindergartners received government assistance for school lunches. Which is to say, this is not a wealthy suburb.

 The basic necessities of life are food, shelter, and income. Wants are everything else—discretionary purchases or activities. That doesn't mean all wants are bad. After all, there's no point in being a miser and dying with a million dollars under your mattress. It's all about striking a balance. Along the way, though, it helps to recognize whether you are buying something to fulfill a need or a want.
People who spend too much money on their wants may sacrifice their long-term ability to pay for their needs. |

 Curiously, urbanization and increased income accounted for 82 percent of the rise in caloric sweetener consumption worldwide. In other words, sugar intake increased as people earned more money and more folks moved into cities in developing countries, both of which gave them greater access to processed foods, which are higher in sweeteners.
"If both urbanization and the processing of the food supply continue unabated, this trend in the worldwide diet will persist," Dr. Popkin's study asserts. |

| Many urologists and oncologists earned an extra $ 100,000 annually in income with this program, and some of the busier urologists earned over $1 million.
One uncooperative urologist was found guilty of violating the Federal False Claims Act and sentenced to six months of home arrest, excluded from Medicare for five years, required to provide 600 hours of free medical care to indigent patients and patients covered by Medicare or Medicaid, and paid fines and restitution to the government. |

| Pairing fourteen organic farms with conventional farms of similar size, operated with a similar crop-livestock system on similar soils, the two-year study found that organic farms produced about the same income per acre as did conventional farms. Although the study's preliminary results surprised skeptical agricultural experts, many subsequent studies confirmed that substantially lower production costs more than offset slightly smaller harvests from organic farms. Industrial agrochemistry is a societal convention and not an economic imperative. |
| Farm debt can come from borrowing to provide the tools necessary to run the farm or because farm income fails to meet the needs of the farmer's family. The low capital requirements of Roman farming suggest that farmers working the republic's traditional small farms were having a hard time feeding themselves. Large estate owners took advantage of their disrressed neighbors and bought up huge tracts of land. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that civil strife and wars had depopulated the Roman countryside, the disappearance of small farms occurred during a period of unprecedented peace. |

| Considering how successful Congress' self-imposed restriction on outside gifts or income has been, it is doubtful that legislative restrictions for government scientists would improve the situation.
The FDA, with its power to limit which drugs can go forward to human trials, exerts great influence on what ultimately reaches the American consumer. If a doctor or inventor/entrepreneur finds a vitamin or a therapeutic treatment that alleviates or cures a chronic disease, he will be unable to advance his work without approved and costly human trials. |

 There are also "nonmedical" factors not directly related to lifestyle that increase the risk of heart disease, like low income, lack of social support, depression, marginalization in society, and stress in childhood. I can't fix all of these social ills with this book, but I just want you to understand that it is not as simple as a "one disease/one pill" kind of thing.

| The rejections are not due to lack of intelligence or ability; the rejections are to allow the AMA to maintain the status quo —to maintain the income level and prestige associated with the profession. By restricting the pool of medical practitioners, the AMA has simplified the pharmaceutical corporations' task of corrupting this small but elite group. In essence, it suits the pharmaceutical corporations perfectly for medical schools to produce a small, captive audience. |

| Within a decade, farm debt more than doubled while farm income rose by just a third. Despite a continual rise in government subsidies, more than four out of every ten American farms disappeared between 1933 and 1968. Corporate factory farms better able to finance increasingly expensive farm machinery and agrochemicals began to dominate American agriculture by the end of the 1960s.
Although different in detail from Rome and the South, the economics of large corporate farms similarly discounted concern about soil erosion.
