In response to such revelations, the U.S. Senate conducted hearings on tranquilizer addiction in 1979.20 And as quickly as Valium rose, it fell. Sales plummeted in the early 1980s.

"Miacalcin, administered by a nasal spray, has an inconsistent effect on hip fractures and vertebral fractures depending on the dose. Forteo, administered by daily self-injection, reduces fractures overall but has not been shown to significantly reduce hip fractures. Even if loss of bone mass is a naturally occurring part of aging, hip fractures in old age are still a serious threat. So how can older women reduce their risk of hip fractures? As we've just seen, there are no magic pills. But there are ways to significantly strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fracture at any age." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

This is because vitamin B]2 is needed to convert methyl folate to its active form." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)
