Disease’s Misfortunes Continue With Charge Against Avandia
According to the National Institutes of Health, diabetes is one of the worst diseases afflicting Americans, ranking as the seventh-leading cause of death and responsible for a multitude of other health problems, from heart disease and blindness, to kidney failure, runaway infections and more.
Worse yet, there is the trend line, parallel to our lazy, sugary-fat cultural evolution, that has the number of reported cases doubling in the past decade (up from 4.8 to 9.1 per 1,000 people).
And now this. A national medical advisory board last Wednesday recommended that the diabetes drug, Avandia, either be pulled from the market, or sold under heavy restrictions, because of studies that have found it increases the risk of heart attack . . . Not to mention, there are accusations of the drug company withholding drug safety information from the public.
But wait. Some medical experts believe the Avandia debate is more of a tragic diversion than an exacerbating misfortune—because the solution to diabetes, like other common, but serious, health issues, isn’t necessarily found behind the counter.
