Hormone Replacement Therapy

This issue is worth mentioning.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1126827/ BMJ. 2003 August 16; 327(7411): 400. PMC 1126827 Marketing: A hot flush for Big Pharma

In 2002 the powerful New York based Society for Women's Health Research, whose “sole mission is to improve the health of women through research,” held a celebrity gala ostensibly celebrating women's “coming of age.” It was entirely underwritten by Wyeth. In a Washington Monthly article entitled “Hot Flash, Cold Cash,” journalist Alicia Mundy reported that only a few days after the Wyeth themed gala the company donated a quarter of a million dollars to the society.

Several weeks later, the WHI study results were made public. Wyeth was in a tailspin. They found support from the society, whose high profile chief executive, Phyllis Greenberger, and her staff went on national radio and television talk shows attacking the findings of the WHI study and its authors. “Instead of taking the side of its constituents,” Mundy observed, “the society seemingly took the side of its donors—and of Wyeth in particular.” As they fervently downplayed the negative findings of the WHI study and urged women not to abandon their HRT, the society's staff failed to disclose their substantial links to Wyeth and other drug companies. Similar activities and non disclosures are under investigation in Australia, after a complaint about the involvement of a well known doctor, Susan Davis, in HRT promotion.
