[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Navy"]I'm curious, boata. I hear the term "big pharma" used in reference to Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, Unithroid, etc. IOW, the synthethic thyroid meds. In context it always sounds kind of like a put down, as if it couldn't be a good thing because it is made by "big pharma," like that. Frequently the terminology seems to be used to distinguish between the synthetic meds and Armour.

That always puzzles me, especially since Levothroid and Armour are made by the same company. Why is that do you suppose?
