The Real Reason Women Were Banned from Clinical Research Trials in 1977

Hi guys! Today’s episode is super duper long and I truly have stopped caring, there’s so much corruption in this world and it deserves to be covered. What corruption are we going over this week? Glad you asked! This is a continuation on our deep-dive into WHY women were actually banned from clinical research in 1977. It is absolutely crucial we understand who is behind this as \*ahem* women matter and it’s also Disability Pride Month! Thank you all for taking the time to listen or at least check out the resources (scroll down for the databases) - if any sources are missing it’s because Youtube and podcast sites usually have a 5K letter limit. I’m using those letters explaining this - but if you need to find something, write down the key words I used and type them into ToxicDocs. By the way, NO, this is not sponsored by ToxicDocs as that’s not how research databases roll. I’m just a fan. I appreciate you all! Thank you again for listening. **Books**: - Sweet and Deadly: How Coca-Cola Spreads Disinformation and Makes Us Sick - Murray Carpenter - Seed Money: Monsants’s Past and Our Food Future - Barrow J.
