>>27731168but that's wrong.
in order to sell a drug under the auspices of the FDA, it has to be extensively tested, which takes multiple years and many millions of dollars.
i'll greentext the problem for you
>Pfizer wants to make a new anti constipation drug>they know (as do most people) that prunes are pretty effective for that >in order to sell the prunes though they need to:>pay millions to test the prunes>wait years and years for testing and approval>pay an advertising company to market Pruneria®>etc etc etc $$$of course they know people will just buy prune juice instead of getting a prescription for *special* Pfizer prune juice that costs 10X as much. No drug company is going to jump through all those expensive hoops if consumers can literally grow the generic brand for free at home.
