Among the first to recognize the broader implications were heart doctors who noticed that inflammation seems to play a key role in cardiovascular disease...
...lobbying is about to reach critical mass with states and cities squeezed by runaway health-care expenditures in general and the unchecked increase in drug prices in particular. Both have grown irritated with Congress's failure to consider pricing alternatives and have become especially annoyed lately with the FDA's threats to initiate legal actions against any government that seeks to enter into buying arrangements with the Canadians to slash their prescription drugs costs for employees, prisoners and Medicaid recipients.

Could the same be true for diabetes? "In 2001, when we published our first paper on inflammation and diabetes, everybody thought we were just wrong," recalls Dr. Paul Ridker, a cardiologist at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston. "Now there are half a dozen studies confirming that...
