Dr. Ladson Hinton, lead author and associate professor of psychiatry at the University of California at Davis, said the findings had significant implications for men aged 65 and older, who were almost eight times as likely to commit suicide than women; that translates to 31.8 per 100,000 compared with 4.1 per 100,000….

Reporting suspected side effects of a drug is voluntary and completely unenforced, which leads to a rather haphazard, incomplete and incorrect evaluation of the real damage being inflicted.Avandia has been on the market for eight years, even though GlaxoSmithKline’s own analysis indicated heightened cardiac risks at least a year before the New England Journal study was published…. Yet the FDA stood idly by, allowing an untold number of individuals to put their lives at risk. No doubt thousands have already lost their lives unnecessarily.Not only is type 2 diabetes completely preventable, but it is virtually curable for anyone who is willing to put in the hard time and work and recovering their insulin and leptin sensitivity.
