Peter,
I must admit that I got a chuckle out of the Pat Buchanan comment.(:>) The gall of that man!

Can't disagree with your points on Urso for gallstone treatment. However, it is the other potential areas that I find interesting. From the annual report it appears that they have trials going on for the following:
1) non-alcoholic steatohepatis
2) recurrence of colorectal polyps(this 600 patient trial should have results released within weeks)
3) primary sclerosing cholangitis
4) primary hypercholesterolemia(results due by end of year)

It appears that from the biliary cirrhosis trials they noted that patients had a decrease of total serum cholesterol levels. It is this potential that has my attention..being I'm a Zocor user myself.
