New drugs have changed the course of some wars!

OTOH, the pharma industry has large revenues selling commercially viable therapeutics that seem to have dramatically increased human lifespan and increased quality of life. Even wi…

Agreed. Also the biotech industry is largely getting defunded. Venture funds are pointing dollars elsewhere so fewer new companies are being started, while more biotechs are being …

I believe something similar is happening in drug development right now. It may take less than 5, 10, 15 years to see the impact to the US. But from someone who has a vantage point …

I've been trying to be low carb for the last couple years and I think it's overall gone well, but I really struggle with what to eat still. I hear your points about protein, cheese…
