[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1021044, member: 196898"] I am not besmirching ASCOT or anyone. I simply make the point that what appears to be an independant trial to see if a med is safe to use was actually funded by the drug manufacturer themselves (with no acknowledgement in the published report). Having twice now come across instances where the raw trial data has been conveniently filtered before publication and subsequent licencing, and having myself suffered two strokes soon after going on to Avandia and Actos, then I too have an agenda. Do I trust Big Pharma? No. Having attended Diabetes seminars, where Big Pharma had trade stands in the conference area, and who were doling out freebies like jelly beans to the attending medical staff, and who offered me coffee with sugar because there were no sweetners on the stand, then I say they only had one thing on their mind, and it was not the patient.
