The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.

Finally some real insight
Revisado: 07-31-22
It is disheartening to get the evidence of what our guidelines and practice insights are based on. As physicians we try to do the best for our patients, obviously big pharma has another idea. Over the years I have taken many women off of statins for lack of evidence of benefit in primary prevention at the risk of upsetting my referral source, but right is right.
Glad this book agrees, hopefully someone has the guts and political will power to stop having big pharma make us sick. Great book, excellent read for all physicians and patients.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Excellent in multiple ways

Trevor Noah does a great job narrating his story. The story is compelling and provides food for thought about race, apartheid, women’s rights and growing up in South Africa.

In June 2013, documents leaked by Edward Snowden sparked widespread debate about secret government surveillance of Americans. Just over a year later, the shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, set off protests and triggered concern about militarization and discriminatory policing. In Unwarranted, Barry Friedman argues that these two seemingly disparate events are connected - and that the problem is not so much the policing agencies as it is the rest of us.

Insightful book
Revisado: 03-02-17
Very good book articulating the argument police should be brought under greater political control. Open my eyes to the failure of courts to protect me from the police. I only wish the book was connected with program I could get involved in to strive for the reform the author advocates.

The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle.

Must read
Revisado: 02-12-17
This book is a must read for anybody who cares about their health and/or the health of others.
The review is unbiased and eye-opening.
I had the pleasure of being at one of dr. Greger's presentations and have been on a whole food plant based diet ever since.
I am feeling great and as a physician myself am trying to spread the word.

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr., and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don't have.
