Lasix, lasix, and more lasix.....
It works the same way in humans - the more medicine you take, the "less hearty" you become and the more medical problems that eventually result. There was also a great roundtable article in the Bloodhorse several years ago (around 2008). One of the panel members talked about the lower nutrient quality in equine feed today. I believe that this is also true in humans where our foodstuff has less nutrients and vitamin-content than it did say 80 years ago.
