> What is, then, in peoples' opinion, the reason why the UK is so particulary 'benzophobic'? I always assumed (wrongly?) that it was down to Prof Aston's work. To be fair, I thought that she was some sort of academic anomaly, but perhaps I can see what Quintal is saying. But then, I'm curious, what caused the benzophobia?
I've read some of Charles Medawar's works on the
topic and it seems to be that some drugs go through fashions in medical trends. I think there is such a thing as a vogue when you have a fluid development in medical treatment. There are some drugs that are not available in some countries, even though they are better. Hopefully, there is also a trend towards greater integrity and knowledge. I think that there is safety in numbers in this area.Squiggles
