The latest blog entry: March 31, What to do about fat
I read health journals from organizations like The American Medical Association, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, etc. When I find a set of journal articles that may be of general interest, I summarize them in a short article in lay terms. I always link to at least one of the journals I have summarized. This way, medical people who read the post can see the essential documents. I try to pick journal articles that non-specialists can access.
