## Resource

In today's episode we're pulling back the curtain on the "cottage industry" of pharmaceutical fraud. We explore how the gold standard of medical research - the Randomized Controlled Trial - is systematically manipulated to prioritize profit over patient safety. From "cherry-picking" ideal participants to using "spiked" placebos that mask dangerous side effects, we break down the specific tactics used to doctor data. We also examine the deep-seated conflicts of interest within regulatory agencies like the FDA. Finally, we provide actionable advice on how to spot biased research and find therapies that actually work.
