Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Dear Colleagues, I have a question that I think will bring up a good topic of discussion. I sure would welcome comments, and hope that I'm not alone in my thinking.? Here's my question:? Is anyone concerned that Eating Well magazine has a 2 page commercial by the Merck Company regarding a drug called Januvia?? Below is a letter I sent to the magazine.? I haven't gotten a reply from them as of yet.? Dear Eating Well Editor, I love your magazine, but could we please keep it drug free?? As a registered dietitian, I am working hard to promote diet and lifestyle as a way to prevent disease.? By placing pharmaceutical ads in the magazine, you are sending a subliminal message that drugs are a natural part of the whole health picture. I am very disappointed that the pharmaceutical industry has found its way into a magazine such as Eating Well, and I feel compelled to let you know that I am not going to recommend it to my clients for that reason.? Yours in health, Jacquelyn A. Pressly, RD ? Jacquelyn A.
