    All,

    I have to tell you, I was completely mystified when Zantac was pulled from store shelves a few years ago.  Now this Wall Street Journal piece – The Zantac Scare and Junk Science (original link) (alternate link) – fully explains it.  Junk science and trial lawyers combined to get the product wrongly pulled off of store shelves.  To me, if what they did isn’t already criminal, it should be criminal.  The link is a free link provided by the Wall Street Journal.  If it won’t load for you, please let me know.  Now fixed, as previously explained.

    Be safe,

    Phillip

    This should be a mandatory inclusion in everyone’s library.
