Just because something has been around for a long time and/or is natural, doesn't make it better than something else. Plenty of 'cures' have been around longer than modern medicine, and yet it's modern medicine that is increasing our expected lifespan. Furthermore, the argument that something is 'natural, therefore good' is just silly. Tornadoes are natural too. So? Doesn't make them better or worse.
I call bullshit on that.
First off almost every drug came from a plant one way or another. Everything has a purpose. Now I risk coming off a a Jesus freak her but in genisis God creates everything and it is good, on top of that he makes animals and plants FOR man.
Look up the Paleo diet. The idea is that we have not evoled much or any in the last 100,000 years and so what we ate back then is what our bodies have been made to eat.
As for we live longer now well thats BS of the highest degree. The reason is because most infants died or the mothers giving birth. Think if you have 4 kids and 2 live to 100 years old while 2 died during birth the average age is 50 years old. Ben Franklin lived to 84 and that was 200 years ago when medicine was choping off arms to stop the spread of a desease, and putting leaches on your body.
Show me any history book or any one in history who died of cancer not in the past 150 yrs guess what the hormones we feed farm animals cause that also the radiation doctors give us and the lifestyle we live now. The drinking water with cemichals the pollution in the air.
