…nearly three billion dollar enterprise is just twisting the evidence. * First off, the data they used is questionable. The researchers whittled 5,000 articles on organic foods down to 237 they decided were relevant, but only 17 were human studies, and only three had clinical outcomes. The other 223 studies…
…in a little over a week—I’m choked up by the memory of an article I read several years ago.

The article brought tears to my eyes because being a paper boy, as we were…
…don’t know if you saw their article, Is This the End of Popping Vitamins? It recapped all of the faulty research of the past few weeks (and the past few years, for that matter)—including the study on women and multivitamins and vitamin E and prostate cancer.

Recently, I saw an article about Americans and their vacations. While many other countries mandate four weeks of paid vacations (or more!), many Americans take one week of vacation or less. In fact, according to a survey conducted by the online travel site Expedia, 34% of employed Americans don’t even…
…groups. For Dr. Sinatra, this MacStatin concept represents junk science heaped on junk food. Maybe it’s medical politics. We can speculate that the article supporting this comical holistic notion—which appeared in the American Journal of Cardiology—may have been published because medical journals are…
…Afterward, they spoke at length about the need to modify or skip various poses in deference to the body. Call it irony, but the very next day an article came out in The New York Times called “How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body”—speaking about the very same thing. So, is yoga safe? Yoga is very powerful…

…phone radiation. While hanging out in an airport bookstore this week, I noticed that Prevention Magazine (January 2010) devoted an entire 12-page article to the dangers of the electrosmog around us. On the same rack was Consumer Reports (January 2010), with a cover story on the best and worst cell phone…
…However, moderation is key when eating any range-fed meat. A 3.5 ounce serving every other day is reasonable. As I discussed in a 2012 newsletter article, over consumption of red meat is associated with a higher incidence of both heart disease and cancer. The researchers also suggested that, “the safety…

If you have teenage children, or grandchildren, I hope you’ll help me share this important information… I recently read an article that said one in three college students has smoked hookah. Hookah is a blend of molasses, fruit, and tobacco that’s smoked through a water pipe. Since it has a more…
