"Sadly, the scientific industry has been so corrupted by money sources that even the people that you'd like to think would defend, for example, the scientific journals have thrown up their hands and said much or most of the science printed in the journals that your doctor relies on today is not to be believed, because it's been so corrupted.

And I was stunned, because I'm one of those people that used to think you read something and it's in a peer-reviewed, published journal - everybody always says that's the gold standard. That's it.

Come to find out, Dr. Marcia Angell, former head of the New England Journal of Medicine, said that it's problematic that she learned, as editor-in-chief, she could not stop the bad studies with the bad information in them that were hopelessly tainted by the pharmaceutical industry. She said she lost that battle.

The current editor of the British journal Lancet has said much the same - Dr. Richard Horton. In a stunning editorial some years ago, he said that much of the science is not to be believed." - Sharyl Attkisson
