In 2005, Americans spent $810 million on glucosamine-chondroitin supplements, which were supposed to relieve arthritis and other joint pain. Now comes a study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, suggesting that that money, or at least that part of it that went for chondroitin, was not well-spent. The L.A. Times reports that when researchers looked closely at data from three large clinical studies, which included 1,553 patients, they found virtually no difference in pain reduction between the
chondroitin and placebo groups. The researchers also looked at X-rays
of the patients’ joints and found little difference between the two
groups. And what about glucosomine? That’s another story, but one with a similar ending.

Did the story mention that the patents on big money some drugs aimed at joint pain were expiring soon?
Did it mention exactly HOW the study was done?
Or did they mention who funded the study?
Did they mention the methods of the study … or should we just take their word for it cause they are experts!
Guess what?
Those same experts did a study in the early 1900’s that concluded that BREAST FEEDING YOUR BABY WAS BAD FOR THE BABY!
Yup … funded by the baby formula companies!
So you do the math …. many peoples EXPERIENCE says that the supplements WORK!
The BIG pharma industry says it does not and that you should take THEIR DRUGS!
And their medium is the proverbial SCIENTIFIC STUDY!
Kinda like the folks who believe EVERYTHING IN THE NEWS IS TRUE!
Idiots!
Don’t be an idiot!
Don’t believe ALL the studies at face value!
