[QUOTE="SamJB, post: 570228, member: 45322"] Don't worry, I'm not taking anything personally! I don't want to give the impression that I think pharma companies are whiter than white. They're not, there's bad eggs working in every industry and no-doubt some of them are making bad decisions at pharma companies. I'll say it again, since you think I'm disengeuous saying this; everyone I've worked with at pharma companies are committed to regulations and safety. They're driven by it. People spend their working lives devoted to it. So it's sad that you don't agree with me when I have first-hand experience. As mentioned, I take statins. Am I worried about adverse events from them? Yes, or course. I'm also worried about hypos from insulin. All drugs have adverse events. If you don't want these events, don't take the drug. I too, am a natural cynic. You have to be to be a scientist. I'm extremely cynical about dietary advice given to diabetics, I'm doing something about it (more to follow in a few months, hopefully). I'm even cynical on the need to take statins in the first place. I'm less cynical about patient safety in pharma companies because I have day-to-day experience in it. [/QUOTE]
