As an International Civil Aviation Examiner, I have seen pilots who have been advised in the USAF and commercial airlines not to drink aspartame for the dangers of seizures or blackouts with fatal loss of control of their aircraft. How can a brain function with these addictive poisons flowing through their neurons?

Drug companies sued in overpricing case

Adding to a slew of similar law suits in other states, South Carolina's State Attorney General Henry McMaster filed suit against five drug companies: Abbott Laboratories Inc., Baxter International Inc., Dey LP, Boehringer Ingelheim Roxane Inc. and Schering-Plough Corp.

Drugs sold to medicare and similar state and federal programs apparently are much more expensive than those sold on the open market, adding up to millions of dollars of fraudulent overcharging.

“Who is next in the line of fire? The alcohol industry? The pharmaceutical industry? Fast food? Health-care providers? Soft-drink companies? Auto makers? The list is endless.

Plaintiffs from 7 states filed suits in New York alleging Pfizer failed to adequately warn physicians and patients about serious health risks tied to Lipitor; claimants include a professional airline pilot, a former professional soccer player, and the widow of a former U.S. Congressman.
