Pfizer is Right...Lipitor Does Stink

Once again, another drug recall.

Pfizer has just announced it is recalling 19000 bottles of Lipitor tablets, the worlds best selling drug.

It turns out a chemical which is on the wooden pallets the drugs are stored on is leaching through and when people open up the bottles, they notice a musty odor.

This same chemical odor was responsible for the Tylenol and other recalls earlier this year.

...And back to Lipitor, so far in 2010 there have been four different recalls totaling 388,000 bottles...AND THIS IS THE WORLDS BEST SELLING DRUG.

This is the job our government and FDA does in ensuring safe medicine creating, distribution and utilization...should we really be trusting them to be able to manage over 80% of our nations food production?

I think its time we make it a point to get healthier, educate ourselves and become less reliant on long term need of medications, and while looking to the future, make plans for effective food production at home...if its not about the escalating prices, recalls and back-orders we can expect for foods (just look at pharmaceuticals), then it is a must for our health.
