Another reason is that they never learned to "question authority"! My father was a noted geochronologist who taught at Berkeley. He taught me to question authority & was always giving examples of students who questioned him. In science, it is always critically important to question because no one has the right answer!!! When it comes to health, it is critically important for each one of us to take responsibility for our good health on a daily basis. That means eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of VitC & D (plus other important nutrients) & exercising. I have done this for decades & so have many of my close friends who are also septuagenarians like I am.
In elementary school I was taught to question everything. That was what a 1970s liberal school was back then. Now liberalism is the opposite: question nothing or get censored.
