The link between breast cancer, higher cardiac risk by 30% of heart attacks, digestive issues, strokes, other symptoms and of course symptoms of addiction, has been written about for many years now. This recent illustrates the perfidy and manipulation by Big Pharma!! How many more patients need to develop of cancer related ADs before "more evidence" is needed? Background
Antidepressant (AD) use has been purported to increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, although both epidemiological and pre-clinical studies have reported mixed results [1]–[6]. Previous studies in a variety of biomedical fields have found that financial ties to drug companies are associated with favorable study conclusions .....Cont/.... Thirty-three percent (20/61) of the studies reported a positive association between ADs and cancer. Sixty-seven percent (41/61) of the studies reported no association or antiproliferative effect. The pooled odds ratio for the association between AD use and breast/ovarian cancer in the epidemiologic studies was 1.11 (95% CI, 1.03–1.20). Researchers with industry affiliations were significantly less likely than researchers without those ties to conclude that ADs increase the risk of breast or ovarian cancer. (0/15 [0%] vs 20/46 [43.5%] (Fisher's Exact test P = 0.0012). Read full article: www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0018210
