Its actually very frightening and verges on a very deep conspiracy within the Congress to help the drug companies keep raping our wallets.
Pharmacuticles are the most profitable industry, with an average 28% margin.

Ya know, I read that article and it sure seemed like the majority of high priced medications which are prescribed so frequently were for things we have decided to take a pill for instead of finding the underlying problem causing it.
I'm not saying that EVERY case of high blood pressure, cholesterol or depression can be helped w/o the need for pharmaceuticals, but geeze - drugs seem to be the first reactionary course of treatment these days.
I was watching a cooking show the other day that said the cinnamon you buy in the store isn't really that great. Do you have an online source for the "real" stuff? Raw honey I can get at any roadside stand here in the woods
but there's no cinnamon which isn't mass produced.
I'm going to try this in my black tea - I tried the green tea and just can't get turned on by it.
Thanks for the info - we "middle aged" folks especially need to pay attention to these things
