It was the same way with #FrederickBanting, #CharlesBest, #JohnJ.R.Macleod, and #JamesCollip, who were the #Canadian scientists at the #UniversityofToronto who discovered and purified #insulin in 1921-1922!

Some discoveries are worth more than money. 🇨🇦 #Cdnhealth #Worldhealth

Hats off to Frederick Banting, the Canadian scientist who discovered insulin and sold the patent for $1, declaring it belongs to the world. Today, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Sanofi control nearly 90% of the US market and sell it at prices many cannot afford.
