Excerpt from John Abramson's
Overdosed America
The Broken Promise of American Medicine
|
"What I found over the next two years of researching the research is a scandal in medical science that is at least the equivalent of any of the recent corporate scandals that have shaken America's confidence and the integrity of the corporate and financial worlds. Rigging medical studies, misrepresenting research results published in even the most influential medical journals, and withholding the findings of whole studies that don't come out in a sponsor's favor have all become accepted norm in commercially sponsored medical research. To keep the lid sealed on this corruption of medical science - and to ensure its translation into medical practice - there is a complex web of corporate influences that includes disempowered regulatory agencies, commercially sponsored medical education, brilliant advertising, expensive public relations campaigns, and manipulation of free medial coverage. And last, but not least, are the financial ties between many of the most trusted medical experts and the medical industry."

Excerpt from Eric Schlosser's
Fast Food Nation
The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
“Americans now spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, computer software, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music - combined...The aesthetics of fast food are of much less concern to me than its impact upon the lives of ordinary Americans, both as workers and consumers. Most of all, I am concerned about its impact on the nations’ children. Fast food is heavily marketed to children and prepared by people who are barely older than children. This is an industry that both feeds and feeds off the young.”

Excerpt from David Kirby's
Evidence of Harm
Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy
"Why would a trusted health agency allow a known neurotoxin to be injected into the bloodstream of small babies – in amounts that exceed federal safety exposure levels for adults by up to 50 times per shot? It’s a disturbing question, and there are no satisfying answers. But a small group of parents, aided by a handful of scientists, physicians, politicians and legal activists, spent the past five years searching for answers. Despite heavy resistance from the powerful public health lobby, the parents never abandoned their ambition to prove that mercury in vaccines is what pushed their children, most of them boys, into ...[the] lost world of autism."
