Adam Fraudstein has only a degree in political science from Emory U. Yet he is listed as a senior columnist at theStreet.com. This explains a lot in how he is able to put a spin on whatever he covers. No science degree, no journalism degree, no medical degree. Thus his objectivity and knowledge base must be called into question. He cannot possibly understand the complexities or subtleties of a disease such as diabetes. But you don't need to know the truth if what you're being paid for is to cast doubt and paint a negative picture. He is in cahoots with either hedge funds or competing pharma interests. You can bank on that.
