Cheers

Someone coincidentally linked to the NY Times article about this on  
another list, which I thought was quite surprisingly free of  
misleading comments designed to manipulate the results.

Then I saw this in the Daily Mail article (off the Google page):

"While the study didn't give us the results that some people were  
hoping for, it suggests that we're on the right track. Women can be  
confident that cutting back on fat and following the recommended  
dietary guidelines ... certainly won't hurt when it comes to  
maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preventing chronic disease."

Sorry for my outbursts here, but... ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!   Somebody  
shoot me!!!  HOW do they get from a study that shows negligible if  
any positive result to the idea that doing MORE of this thing that  
did NOTHING will be better???  Putting no money into my bank account  
will not make me rich, even if you do it a million times!

The excuses and blatant self-deception these people come out with is  
astonishing.  And they get PAID for it!  I bet at least half the  
members of this list could put together a better piece of research.

(I e-mailed the author of the NYT article about paleo, probably  
wasting my time though.  Feel free to join in the spamming anyone  
that wants!)
