Maybe not. I take a synthetic hormone daily which 100's of millions of people worldwide depend on. It has been on the market for more than 30 years.

And it costs only $10 cash out-of-pocket (no insurance) for a 90 day supply - cheaper than one lunch at a fast-food restaurant.

Market competition can produce remarkable results.
