| Health News Review
With all the medical threads popping up today, it reminded me of one I've been meaning to circularize... Health News Review
So the next time you learn from the evening news factoid that margarine is better than butter, or you should stop drinking your wine, you can check their grades.
e.g.: Go ahead and throw out your green tea. |

| Well, but that study only addresses heart disease, and not the other putative health benefits of green tea...

| I was being a bit flippant - but the point of the site is to expose sensationalistic or poorly researched/executed health journalism. Since health is the time/column space filler du jour for most media, I was pleased that there is somewhere to go next time I'm told that I should eat 1 lb. of bacon @ every meal... | |

| I think gtmac's sig (and possibly parrythis' one, too - can't be bothered going to check) calls it correctly - everything in moderation.
