    Bloody typical. Take a chemical out of context, design a study and prove it ineffective for whichever spurious claim is being tested. They can't see the wood for the trees
    Why I don't worry about cholesterol:
    Lyon Diet Heart Trial
    Get With The Guidelines admission data
    Sydney Diet Heart Study revisited
    INTERHEART Study
    Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet

    The problem with modern medicine is that doctors don't view the prescription of drugs as a failure to keep you healthy

    This could easily turn into another "Mediterranean diet" debacle. Researchers discover that "curry" fights cancer, the specifics get lost through journalism, Dr. Oz and Oprah convince chubby middle aged women all over america to dump more fat and carbs on their fat and carbs because cancer.
