Its becoming very difficult to decide which peer reviewed, published papers one can believe out there?
Perhaps setting up a rating system for different publishers is a good idea?

"...journal editors have a lot of power in science – power that provides opportunities for abuse. The life science industry knows this, and has increasingly moved to influence and control science publishing..."

A new NIH study proclaiming that Ginkgo biloba causes cancer is so absurd you must wonder if they produced it with a straight face. More important, though, is why—and the reason is truly frightening. It's part of a system determined to steal all natural health methods and hand them to Big Pharma & Big Medicine for profits.
