searching  information. I am attaching a copy of one of the URL which came
to my request in this way, and it belongs to a Pharmaceutical Industry. This
information is clearly publicity of Avandia, which  is the brand name of

[Thank you very much for this information. It does highlight the need 
for us to be alert and discerning with the information we access. 
Obviously the site does not adjust in the light of current 
information.  BS]
