YATSASS: US medical research spending rises, results lag

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Annual U.S. spending on medical research doubled in the past decade to more than $94 billion in 2003, but the additional dollars have yielded only disappointing results, a study said on Tuesday.

"There aren't a lot of diseases where we can point to and say we have an answer today that we didn't have a decade ago," said Dr. Hamilton Moses of The Alerion Institute, a North Garden, Virginia, think tank that evaluates research policy.

Oh, c,mon Dr. Moses! Don't be so negative!

We know that beer goggles are real, that fat kids feel badly when teased... why, we even know that new mothers get resentful when thir husbands sleep through the babies' crying.

Research shows that subjects of research like to know the results of the research, and we know that drinking highly sugared beverages contributes to obesity. We've learned lots more. Just look over to the left where all the YATSASSes are listed, just below this one, which cost how much??
