http://fatnews.com/ Hi, this is Larry Hobbs @ FatNews.com. LarryHobbs@fatnews.com

There is study that the FDA [ US Food and Drug Administration ] often sites, that 100,000 Americans die every year from their prescription drugs that they took just as the doctor directed, Melody Petersen, author of a new book called Our Daily Meds: How The Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves Into Slick Marketing Machines And Hooked The Nation On Prescription Drugs told Bill Moyers.

This isnt when a doctor or pharmacist made a mistake, or the patient accidentally took too much, Petersen continued.

This is when everything supposedly went right.

So that just shows you how dangerous these products are.

In her book, she also notes that drug-related deaths are often hidden and never reported on death certificates.

A government scientist estimated that [ Vioxx ] may have killed more than 40,000 Americans, she notes.
