Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - bogus research by drug companies

But at least now, people are really starting to take notice.

Quote:

Now in an attempt to find a solution to the problem, medical publishers have rallied together and persuaded the US National Institute of Health to create a randomised drug trial registry – a register independent of industry. After some pressure pharmaceutical giants have in recent weeks agreed to participate.

I really want to see this move forward. What I find scarier than the ghost authorship is the simple fact that the drug giants own the copyright to the research, so if it's unfavourable to their product (ie potentially dangerous for patients), they can simply say, "thanks for the paper" and toss it in the proverbial shredder.
