Several people have been blogging about organisational integrity after the issues to do with Dave Walker and a chain of Christian bookstores in the UK. Sam Norton at Elizaphanian has links to the relevant sites and information.
The latest British Medical Journal page includes a video describing very clearly how drug companies recruit doctors to boost market share in pharmaceuticals. It makes me question the independence of recent American Pediatric and Cardiology recommendations that children as young as two should be tested for high cholesterol and treated with statins.
I'm hoping to get some more information and to determine the extent of the evidence base underpinning such recommendations. I take this information as a pointer though, to be ever watchful and discerning about the 'principalities and powers' that influence apparently independent and individual choices.

It's all about the money, not patient health. At least on the part of the drug companies. I hate it.

Oh I love that. I haven't had a 'meaningful' word verification yet but I love the ones people post sometimes.
