Isn't the real problem that they warp science through selective studies. For example, when the they do the volumn of studies re statin drugs and cholesterol it creates the impression that the use statin drugs are supported by the majority of studies. However, since there is no profit in comparing diet change with statin drugs then the science of drug free approaches to treating high cholesterol is not as well developed. Love your show. Better to listen to then mindless dribble. You have discussed several times the issue of the pharmaceutical industry producing self serving science.
