The book ‘The Myth of Osteoporosis [3]’ by Gilian Sanson has been newly revised. According to the author’s website, the book “reveals that osteoporosis is an even more controversial condition in 2011 – still trumpeted by drug companies, front-line advocacy groups and clinicians as a silent but deadly disease that stands to destroy the lives of tens of millions of postmenopausal women – but with the market further expanded to include those with osteopenia or low bone density, resulting in untold numbers now taking potent osteoporosis drugs. The drugs offer minimal (if any) benefit amidst ever-increasing evidence for serious harm, but they continue to be widely prescribed while massive profits roll in for the companies that produce them.”
