AEI Press, 2004. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Reporting on research funded by major pharmaceutical corporations, Miller, with a Virginia company, and Frech (economics, U. of California-Santa Barbara) analyze the effects of pharmaceutical and other health-care consumption in industrialized countries on health, life expectancy, and mortality due to circulatory disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases. Among their findings is that obesity generally outranks both smoking and drinking as a risk factor. They presented earlier versions of the material at symposia in Perth, Australia in June 2001 and York, England in July 2001. (©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
