BigPharma, Junk Science, and Cherry Picking

Here are multiple stories about the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and how they fund multiple studies on their anti psychotic drug, Seroquel, then suppress those studies that are unfavorable and show a link between the drug and diabetes, and only send to the FDA those studies that show a favorable outcome - this practice is called 'cherry picking' and is apparently quite common in the industry. [I just read an abstract (Medical Care [Med Care] 2008 May; Vol. 46 (5), pp. 467-75. ) indicating specialty hospitals may engage in the same practice of cherry picking: "Patients with more generous insurance are significantly more likely to gain admission to specialty hospitals."]
Why do these pharmaceutical companies purposefully promote a product that is harmful?! Why is this country drowning in drugs only to be falling behind most other industrialized nations in every standard of wellness and measure of effectiveness of our $ick care $ystem? Follow the money and the greed! How many people have sold their soul (and the health of others) for that which corrupts?

Don't wait for President Obama or your elected officials to turn it around! YOU can do it by learning how to eat healthy, live healthy, and STAY healthy! Stay away from the soda, refined foods, corn syrup, sugar, 'low fat' products, MSG, fake sweeteners and Omega-6 fats. Educate yourself about yourself - instead of wasting that hour watching TV or some other nonproductive activity, pray for guidance and get smart.
