John Whyte, M.D., of the article listed above, talks about how drugs can affect men, women, and people of difference ethnicity differently. He also gives different examples and statistics to back up this main idea. This source is credible because it is coming straight from a government website, which is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. John Whyte, M.D. is also a former Chief Medical Expert, and Vice President of Health and Medical Education at Discovery Channel.
