Cheryl--Your post illustrates one of the problems with the 80% factoid. >>>The 80% figure was referring to pharmaceutical "ingredients". 70% figure referred to insulin.<<< What does "ingredient" mean? Does it mean "basic chemical?" Heck, water is an "ingredient" in drug manufacturing. Go figure. The words "medicinals," "pharmaceuticals," and "prescription medications" and for that matter "drugs" all have different definitions which could be contextual...and not necessarily comparative meanings when comparing data I suspect. I can't really trust Bennett's precision in language here I'm afraid. I'll listen to that section of the tape again for all the good it will do me. I now have a headache...I need drugs and I do mean drugs.
