The conclussion is don't trust big pharma.
It is almost impossible to avoid big pharma just as it is almost impossible to buy very much made in America manufactured goods.
I sued and won. Lawsuits offer a minor control of big pharma. Even very big lawsuits often do little to change big pharma's approach. They just become a minor cost of doing business.
This article shows an example.

Is Horse Estrogen For Women A Good Idea?
What brings this question to light of day is the marketing efforts of Wyeth (now owned by Pfizer via a merger this year), to promote hormonal treatments Prempro, a combination of aptly named Premarin, an estrogen drug produced from the urine of pregnant mares, and an additional hormone, progestin.
As one might suspect simply from the sound of it, various complications, problems, and lawsuits have arisen.
...Pfizer should be addressing those questions instead of callously dismissing claims with a preposterous combination of rhetoric ... "Prempro is a safe, federally approved drug that did not cause Ms. Barton’s breast cancer" while simultaneously saying "Wyeth acted responsibly by including a clear warning about a breast cancer risk on Prempro labels."
That combination of Pfizer statements is not only insensitive and disingenuous, it is point blank stupid. Pfizer's statements suggest it is not interested in the truth, rather Pfizer simply wants the problem to go away. That is a sure guarantee that it won't.
