    New England Journal of Medicine are about to published a review on the health risks associated with Avandia (the biggest-selling diabetes drug in the world). When researchers pooled results of dozens of studies they discovered a 43 percent higher risk of heart attack and a 64 percent greater risk of cardiovascular death.

    It is estimated more than 6 million people worldwide take this drug sold by London-based GlaxoSmithKline PLC since it came on the market eight years ago.
