An interesting article on the potential for problems in the pursuit of health.
The article conforms to the aphorism, "those who think they're healthy, haven't had enough tests..."

Full disclosure: I wrote a book about medical screening and managed to spend lots of time looking at the data on the seedy side of 'preventive screening.'
One of my physician friends had full praise for my book: "It seems mostly true, and he's not as crazy as one would expect..."

You're so cynical, Alan Cassels. Lets not forget about the many lucky ones who die naturally before anticipatory medicine is deployed,

Alan, is this also one of your books? https://www.amazon.ca/Fascism-Alan-Cass ... 088295718X

Do you write about Big Pharma and Fascism?

[Alan]

No, the 'other' Alan Cassels is a History professor at the U of T who is an expert on Italian fascism.

I don't do Mussolini....

Well, that's no fun
