And....as for 'scientific studies,' I just read an article that said back in the 1960's, the sugar industry paid big bucks to scientists to skew the evidence to 'prove' that sugar is good, fat is bad.

Medicine, like politics, is all up for sale. Certain drugs-a-la-mode are pushed on us by doctors because they get something in return from the pharma companies.

Research everything. I find that herbs, spices, botanicals, etc., are every bit as effective as pharmaceuticals for most common ailments, and without the side effects.

I know. I'm cynical. Unless it's an emergency, stay out of the doctor's office.
