This comparative listing on current and past studies is set up in two major subcategories; study results describing non-beneficial outcomes - "What's Bad" and studies reporting on neutral or beneficial outcomes - "What's Good." It covers information on major medical problems and potential solutions on how to avoid them through proper diet and exercise, but, most of all, it gives you a reference point and a platform for further research.
As you would expect, some studies are done incorrectly, some are done correctly, some within a narrow point of view but offering broad sweeping suggestions and, of course, some are performed from a researcher's biased position. One thing is for sure however, studies on everyday things that affect our health or well being are media attention getters. And, if the media is involved then headlines are made, news anchors proffer their opinions and when the hype dies down the next "Here's another study for you" is in the making. The result of all this is a bombardment of confusion instead of help
After all of this, we are still left with the question of "Who do we believe?." The best answer is to review the studies available and believe in your own judgment. This book gives you a compact reference source to the studies for the most current, popular health topics out there:
