		<description><![CDATA[The Mediterranean diet is not only wildly popular around the world but also considered to be one of the most healthful diets of all that have received in-depth research attention. Yet it is unclear whether it is the wine, olive oil or some other component of the diet that largely accounts for the health benefits, chief among them is longevity. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2681&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes it’s the opening anecdote that draws you into a book. In the introduction of The Healthy Skeptic: Cutting through the HYPE about your Health, author Robert J. Davis describes a youthful encounter that jump-started his own quest for truth. It was the early years of the low-fat-diet-for-all heart disease prevention message to the public.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1195&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your doctor has ever told you to go on a low-fat diet, read this book. For 50 years the public has been told that dietary fat and excess calories are the cause of obesity, heart disease and other chronic illnesses. Journalist Gary Taubes, a correspondent for Science magazine, has spent years tracking down the scientific underpinnings for both assertions and found little to support them.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=219&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One might reasonably expect the U.S. government’s cholesterol-treatment guidelines to be firmly based on scientific evidence. Certainly, that was the claim of the National Cholesterol Education Program when it issued an updated report in 2004. What alarmed some researchers and consumer advocates at the time was the expansion of statin use to include people who do not have heart disease but are supposedly at “moderately elevated risk” for developing it.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1062&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cholesterol skeptics were there. So were the physicians who challenge the safety and necessity of cholesterol-lowering drugs. And then there were the lipid researchers whose findings totally contradict the prevailing dietary advice to the public: Avoid saturated fats, limit cholesterol, and use more polyunsaturated oils. Their presentations were met with enthusiastic approval at a conference held last spring in Arlington, Virginia. But then again, the attendees were not the usual people who show up at a conference billed as "Heart Disease in the 21st Century: Beyond the Lipid Hypothesis."<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=790&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
