Physicians, nutrition and disease prevention

For most physicians, nutrition is not of significant interest. It is not an essential pillar of medical education.

Each generation of medical students learn about different sets of pills and procedures, but receive almost no training in disease prevention.

And in practice, doctors are not rewarded for educating patients about the merits of truly healthy lifestyles.
