If you do not like the std.s that the GI guys have come up with and think they are just money grubbers, you can certainly submit your own research results.

Actually, it remains a debate. In fact, if you look up Annals re cost effectiveness of colonoscopy (which is not hard to do), you can find that even in that pro-colonoscopy article, they modeled every 10 year colons O/W the cost analysis would not have been so beneficial to scoping.

I did not suggest the GI docs are money grubbers, merely that they are reaping the benefit of misguided legislation.

What is the number one cause of death men and women in the industrialized world? Is it colon cancer. Is it even close?

EDIT: Noah, the prob with both preps, and anecdotally more (in my experience) with phosphosoda is electrolyte abnormalities which play havoc with guys with CV disease.
