Comments on: Where Have All the Studies Gone? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/drug-study-indiscretions/ Serving up health and fitness insights (daily, of course) with a side of irreverence.

The pharma companies did and continue to do some good, but unfortunately it's balanced by lots of greed - "misinterpreted" studies, unreported negative results, and created diseases - that more than overcome the good done by fixes like insulin for Type I diabetics. Where we begin is with everyone (or at least those that aren't game for a quick-fix pill) taking control of their health. That means eating like a caveman, working out in short, intense bursts, and managing stress and overall well-being. Until everyone takes control of their health in such a way, they're at the hands of Big Pharma, who could care less about your health, only about taking your wealth.
