 It's really more of a junk science fraud fest designed to prop up the aspartame industry a little longer even as new science keeps coming out showing the chemical sweetener to be potentially quite dangerous to health.
For the Ajinomoto company to fund a review by paying money to an industry-friendly consulting group that coincidentally happens to find aspartame to be perfectly safe strains credibility to such a degree that only a fool would put any weight in this announcement. It's like the R.J. |

 And to think: This is the junk science that gets published in mainstream, peer-reviewed medical journals! Incredible...

The problems with modern medicine and the mainstream media
This reporting about the link between depression and osteoporosis brings up several important concerns:

| The whole point of this exercise in junk science, lousy reporting and astonishing nutritional ignorance is to get more women to take more drugs. It's really as simple as that.
In order to accomplish that, they have to get the medical researchers, the mainstream media and members of the public to all play along and pretend that vitamin D has nothing to do with these diseases. They also have to get everybody to pretend that antidepressant drugs are a treatment for osteoporosis -- an idea that's utter nonsense and, in fact, may be the exact opposite of what's really true. |

 This study was poorly designed, poor followed, and ultimately comes up as junk science. Yet it's being touted by pharmaceutical-funded newspapers and media outlets around the world as an "A-ha!" moment, proving that calcium supplements and vitamin D supplements are useless. Faced with this information, what should consumers do now? Take more drugs, no doubt. Drugs which, by the way, are typically only "proven" through the construction of carefully distorted, selective studies that exaggerate their benefits and minimize their risks. |

 Science today seems largely dedicated to conning people out of their money or conning people into believing falsehoods about health or the environment. junk science has become the tool of corporate and government con artists, and sadly, the public isn't educated well enough about skeptical thinking to know the difference between real science and junk science. For example, few people understand the difference between absolute vs. |

Junk science and the discrediting of alternative medicine
While distorted science is used to promote synthetic chemicals that are extremely dangerous and almost universally ineffective, the same sort of distortion is used to attack anything that could compete with high-profit pharmaceuticals. Bad science is used to attack vitamins, nutrients, and all natural therapies that powerful corporations can’t patent to make real money. |
| Junk science has become the tool of corporate and government con artists, and sadly, the public isn't educated well enough about skeptical thinking to know the difference between real science and junk science. For example, few people understand the difference between absolute vs. relative statistics on the efficacy of drugs, and because of that, drug companies are able to convince people their drugs are effective for nearly everyone when, in reality, many drugs only work on about 5% of the population.
Science needs to divorce itself from business interests and politics. |

| It was force-fed through the FDA's approval process based purely on distorted, junk science constructed to win approval for a chemical that would earn billions of dollars for powerful corporations (and the powerful, evil bastards who run them).
And ever since, aspartame has been poisoning Americans each and every day, contributing to seizures, blindness, migraine headaches, vision problems, neurological disorders and possibly even cancers. The fact that no health authority in America is interested in taking a new look at the safety of aspartame is nothing short of astonishing. |

 The group routinely uses scare tactics justified by 'junk science' and media theatrics as part of their ceaseless campaign for government regulation of your personal food choices."9
In dismissing CSPI's work as media driven and reliant upon "junk science" (a favorite derisive term for any research that inconveniently goes against corporate interests), CCF's aim is to scare people into believing that the group is trying to take away their God-given right to eat whatever they want. |

| They use junk science, new science, ghostwritten science, and Madison Avenue science to promote their agenda of corporate profitability. Go ask your corporate advertisers why maintenance drugs are more important than a cure. Ask them why they spend more on advertising than they do on research and development. Ask them why they needed to be subsidized by us —the people (government)—to expend the effort necessary to seek new antibiotics and vaccines that may be required to deal with terrorism. This is the most profitable corporate industry in the U.S. |
| Call it junk science, biased or totally fraudulent medical reporting, and/or a broken teaching system—these professionals operate from flawed premises. They are content to treat diseases (and consequently enrich the pharmaceuticals), not to search for cures. Many doctors know that new drugs approved by the FDA often result from compromised medical research. Bought-and-paid-for research, endorsed by once-esteemed medical publications, does not offer doctors trustworthy information worthy of use in patient care. |

 I thought he was reading junk science. I thought he was in denial. Because I'm a medical provider, I said, we have to look at medically based research." But even the scientific literature would not give them a clear sense of the true risks of the class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. Only a handful of papers, half a dozen at most, reported an association between SSRIs and the condition known as akathisia: the extreme agitation, sense of unease, and feeling of wanting to jump out of one's skin that Justin described in the days before his death. |

 This hyping of milk as a diabetes prevention beverage if nothing but junk science, yet it's being reported as fact by newspapers and cable news networks that just parrot whatever press releases their advertisers send them.
Junk science is the norm
I could just as easily say that watching television prevents rock climbing injuries. It's true! I conducted a study looking at 5,000 people who watched a lot of television and found they had a really low rate of rock-climbing injuries. That proves it. I should issue a press release. |

 It's a cult-like belief system handed down by the high priests of conventional medicine, and if this intricate web of false beliefs was actually subjected to genuine scientific scrutiny, it would crumble into a thousand pieces of junk science and marketing propaganda.
Conventional medicine, as practiced and promoted today, has nothing whatsoever to do with good science, but everything to do with promoting a particular cult-like worldview that says only doctors can treat or cure disease, not patients, or nature, or nutrition. |

 Once you understand the economics and the motives of the parties involved here, the junk science con becomes quite obvious: Pushers of pharmaceuticals will always use dirty tricks to discredit nutritional supplements because it is in their financial interests to do so.
My own financial interests, by the way, are squeaky clean. I sell no supplements, I earn no money from supplement companies, and in fact I am not even paid by NewsTarget for my work on these articles. |

 Why health officials continue to support mass poisoning programs
Today's vaccination programs are, of course, based on outright junk science nonsense. But we've never really expected doctors, dentists and public health officials to act rationally, have we? Dentists, for example, still insist on the mass poisoning of children through the fluoridation of public water supplies with an EPA-regulated toxic industrial byproduct chemical they incorrectly call "fluoride. |

 A couple of CounterThink cartoons (by yours truly) also make the film, detailing FDA corruption, Big Pharma's junk science and the grand hoax of modern psychiatry.
(See my most recent CounterThink cartoon, just released today: Fidozac, the antidepressant drug for dogs!)
Only occasionally does the film retreat from its pressure-cooker drama. Chapter Three offers a series of personal testimonies on Prozac that goes on way too long, for example, but the timing of the film is likely to be tightened up before its final release. |

 They use phony scientists who create junk science. These are Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s words. Both Scarborough and Kennedy go on to say that this is the same thing that happened in big tobacco and big oil, and regarding global warming. Both Kennedy and Scarborough state that the idea that this is safe is "junk science." They state that it is fraudulent. You are reading this right. Both Kennedy and Scarborough are stating what I had been stating for years. That the tobacco industry, the oil industry, and the pharmaceutical industry all do the same thing. |

 It was just plain old junk science, hijacked by a powerful corporation with a clear profit motive.
If all that sounds familiar, it's because drug companies are playing the same game with science today that Big Tobacco played decades ago: Influence the science, bury the bad news and propagandize the good news. It's the oldest play in the spin book, and Big Pharma has patterned it perfectly from Big Tobacco.
You see, the relevant question in this discussion is not simply whether mercury-containing vaccines cause autism. |

 Big Pharma critics leapt at the opportunity to point out how drug-company-funded clinical trials are little more than junk science designed to distort findings and produce the results desired by the study sponsor. Even Congress got in on the act, announcing an investigation of Merck for its apparent attempt to commit scientific fraud with Vytorin study results.
By the way, the FDA doesn't require medical studies to be non-fraudulent. The agency is happy to accept fraudulent studies from Big Pharma -- and it has done so for decades! |

 To call it junk science is an understatement.
Big Pharma's trespasses into scientific fraud go way beyond mere junk science. The fraudulent trials, hiding of evidence, cherry-picking of studies, and intimidating critics all point to a policy of succeeding in the marketplace at all costs while invoking "science" as a convenient defense. |

| It's a completely ludicrous idea based on nothing but junk science combined with clever sunscreen marketing.
Now, here's the truth about the situation. Sunscreen itself usually contains toxic fragrance chemicals that actually cause cancer. The very product that the industry says will protect you from cancer is partly responsible for causing it! This isn't the first time we've heard that. The same thing's true about mammography, which actually causes breast cancer even while it claims to be detecting it.
The second myth is that the sunlight actually causes skin cancer in the first place. |

Inventing disease for profit
The psychiatric community has now become the disease invention branch of Big Pharma. Psychiatrists dream up disorders, and drug companies market the "treatment" that just happens to have been recently FDA approved. Notice how new diseases or disorders only get publicized and advertised after the FDA approves a Big Pharma drug to treat them? |
