Drug Company Lies About Celebrex in JAMA - Inaccurate findings from an unpublished study by Pharmacia on their arthritis medicine were made available to enhance the image of their product. Then information was skewed just enough so that it would have an edge over competitors' products.

Medical Journals Aim to Curtail Drug Companies' Influence - In an effort to prevent drug companies from controlling the results of studies regarding their products, prominent medical journals the world over have joined together. They are instituting a uniform policy, agreeing not to publish any studies that may be influenced by drug companies.

Drug Company Owns Monsanto and Their Weed Killer Is What Funds GMO Crops - Roundup, the most profitable weed killer in the world -- ever -- is a product of Monsanto. The product accounts for over half of the company's sales, a far greater portion than their genetically modified crops.

Low Cholesterol and Suicide Risk - A new study reveals that people with low serum cholesterol concentration may have a high chance of committing suicide as a result.

Higher Education and More Reading Linked to Nearsightedness - Nearsightedness, once believed to be primarily passed on through heredity, is now being shown to be much more common in those who are highly educated.

Monkey Virus Present in Recent Polio Vaccines - The original polio vaccine in the 1950's was created using living tissues from monkeys, that harbored a cancer-causing virus that is still being found in people today.
