Just when you thought the pharmaceutical industry in the United States couldn't get any crazier or overzealous than it already has developing all these so-called miracle drugs to cure every ailment known to mankind, along comes a story like this one that reminds me why these gold-digging scheisters need to be locked up in prison with the key thrown away for their dishonesty and deception on the public.
The culprit this time around is the infamous Pfizer Inc., whose #1 bestselling cholesterol-lowering medication Lipitor brought down a cool $13 BILLION in revenue in 2006 (plus a few lawsuits and then a class action lawsuit about its safety which is still going through the courts), and now they're aiming for canines with a new drug called Slentrol, aka dirlotapide. |

Here we go yet again with the obvious media bias against low-carb!
Have you seen the merciless beating the low-carb diet is taking in the press right now after the release of a new Centers For Disease Control (CDC) study showing the important B complex vitamin folate levels in women has dropped somewhat in recent years causing health atrocities in younger women like birth defects? The coverage of this story is pretty disgusting if you ask me.
Here's what they're saying about the alleged low-carb connection:
"Low-carb diets may hit levels of folate."
"Blood levels of folate in young women are dropping, a disturbing development that could lead to increased birth defects and may be due to low-carb diets."
"Experts suspect diets are to blame for the drop. And breads fortified with folic acid have fallen from favor in low-carb diets."
"Low-carb diets have increased in popularity since 2000. Women who avoided flour and bread products for their carbohydrates may have also taken in less folic acid."
What's with all the emphasis on livin' la vida low-carb and lower folate levels? Well, it seems one of the primary sources of folic acid is in fortified whole grain breads which are generally avoided by people watching their carbohydrate intake, right? True enough, but health officials at the CDC call this a "disturbing" trend that MUST be the result of low-carb diets. |

I just read that 40 percent of Americans make a New Years resolution to lose weight. (Kind of seems like a low number, since 60 percent of us are overweight.) But if you ask Beyonce, losing all that weight should be child’s play. |

Are they pregnant? Or is that the “special glow” that can only come from a double cheeseburger? |

Ok. Don’t get me wrong, as a public health advocate I think it’s fantastic that New York has banned trans fat. Now, I just read that Disney is banning all trans fat at it’s theme parks. Wow!!! |
