Re: Big Brother and vested interests?

Actually I was in a several year's study of Vitamin C as a cancer
deterrant. Physical, medical records, history, and the occasional
follow-up plus delivery of regulal supply of ?. Never did find out
whether I had the placebo or the C. I did it early in the 90's, 5 or
6 years after quitting smoking, and early in the diabetes.
I do know they concluded that there wasn't a significant result.
History of cancer in the family (which I don't have) was, in their
opinion, along with smoking, something on which Vitamin C had no
measureable effect.

In a sense we're all guinea pigs. We live, or die, and join the
statistics. 90% of x's will die 10 years earlier than Y's. After 5
years this prescription will save or help x percentage of people
suffering with Q. In the same 5 years y percentage will have a fatal
or nasty reaction to the same prescription. All statistics available
eventuallyl
As long as we know what we're getting into, why not find out a little
earlier than the statisticians do?
