Just a pill-full of sugar helps the marketing go down...

Harold Slyvester posted tipped us off to this little tidbit over on the AHG forums area. Thanks, Harold!

Jenny Thompson of the Heath Sciences Institute has written up a great e-Alert. Sitting around with the ubiquitous boob-tube on, I can't help but take pause when the pharmaceutical ads (which happen at the rate of seven gazillion a minute, it seems) talk about side-effects in similar proportion to those found in placebo or sugar pills.

Wait a minute. Sugar pills causing nausea, headache, vomiting, irregular heart beat? Is something going on here I'm not being told?

Jenny thinks so. Take a minute to read the full article. And wake up!
