Dr Peter Gøtzsche exposes big pharma as organized crime

April 1, 2015 (pre-pandemic)

Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher, and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration.

Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified; His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable? in The Lancet in 2000. In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate.

In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print. The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction. The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in.

In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published. In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published.

Veggie Burger, vegan, no weird ingredients

[Cmmt: Some say this recipient is similar to the famous Planta Restaurant Burger found HERE]

INGREDIENTS

50 grams carrot half medium
50 grams celery 1 small stalk
100 grams onion 1 medium
1 clove garlic
1½ teaspoons salt
2 cups quick cooking oats
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon Italian herbs dry
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 – 19 fl. oz. can black beans drained but not rinsed
1 teaspoon soy sauce


INSTRUCTIONS

Using a food processor or a box grater, pulse or shred the carrot, celery, onion and garlic.

Add the salt and stir together well, mashing the mixture so the salt can draw out liquid from the vegetables.

Set aside.

In a large bowl combine oats, whole wheat flour, Italian herbs and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Add beans, vegetable mixture and soy sauce. Mash the beans with a fork before mixing everything together. Do not mash the beans too much. The mixture will be stiff, so feel free to add a spoonful or 2 of water. Do not add too much though or the burgers will be mushy.

Cover mixture and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. If you are in a hurry, at least 1 hour is necessary.

When you are ready to cook the burgers, shape the mixture into 6 patties.

Heat 1/4 inch oil in a skillet on medium high and sear the burgers on each side for 45 seconds to 1 minute. [Editor: better to use bit of aquafaba (garbanzo beans juice), or water, or veg stock in place of oil. Or bake in oven on parchment paper. Planta Burger says bake at 450 deg, but that may too high, you decide. Try 400 degrees for 20 minutes, then flip & bake another 15 minutes.]

When both sides are golden brown, reduce the heat to the lowest temperature and cover with a lid.

Cook low and slow for 15 minutes on each side, checking frequently to prevent burning.

By the end of cooking, the burgers should be slightly darker than when they were seared and cooked thoroughly.

Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
