Eli Lilly would have everyone taking preventative antipsychotics, antidepressants, you name it. This is the danger that we run when med companies are controlling so much of our medical research. It is hard to know what to believe b/c so much medical research is funded by companies with a financial stake in the outcome. An analogy would be the Phillip Morris corporation showing us studies that suggest that smoking will improve our health. I wish I knew how we could reform this system. :(
