Physician medical associations are lobbying groups run by doctors to advocate for their specialty.
Associations create the guidelines for their colleagues and have tremendous power over how the field operates.
It's a corrupt scam 🧵
The influence these associations wield cannot be overstated.
If they decide a treatment is the "Gold Standard," it makes alternative therapies "dangerous" to recommend. It opens physicians up to lawsuits, license challenges, and bureaucracy.
Their corruption is overt.
1) American Heart Association (AHA)
This association has existed since the clearly 1900s. In the 1940s it blew up after being supported by Procter and Gamble.
Why would a multinational manufacturing company support the AHA?
The AHA declared trans fat margarine (Crisco) was healthier than saturated fats.
P&G originally patented this product to make soap. That didn't work so they decided people should eat it instead.
The AHA agreed, and trans fats became a staple in the American diet.
We now know trans fats are probably the least healthy foods on the planet. They are no longer make them for human consumption. But the damage is done.
Why would the AHA make such an egregious error?
Their funding, of course!
The AHA is heavily supported by Big Pharma and Big Ag like P&G. I have linked an older article on their funding sources below.
