What current factor influences American health habits in a negative way?

Answer 1

Foods that are in the grocery stores and fast food restaurants. There is very little nutritional value in the food and the sodas and sugar is bad for health.

Then there is the fact that a lot of food is genetically modified as a way to fertilize it, meaning you get some of it in the food. Then there is the stress from the economy and the polluted air that rob you body of nutrients. Then of course there are drugs that people consume daily that unbalance the body.

I'm talking of prescription drugs as a way of dealing with body problems instead of finding the cause and correcting it.
