Episode 170: Katherine Eban

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Katherine Eban is an investigative journalist with
contributions to Vanity Fair and the New York Times, is a
best-selling author of two books, and has received much praise
and numerous awards for her journalism. She was educated at Brown
University and Oxford—at which school she was a Rhodes Scholar.


In our discussion with Katherine, we talk about her work
investigating the FDA and Big Pharma, the corruption she
discovered during her investigation, conditions under which many
of the low-cost drugs in the market are made overseas, how
companies would go to amazing lengths to falsify data, the level
of fraud discovered in drug manufacturing plants in India and
China, and strategies for how the FDA could better enforce
compliance to their standards.


Additionally, Katherine shares some practical advice for how
doctors can take in and use the information from her
investigations to help their patients.
