Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. -Mark Twain

No, I trust this information but reading health advice on the internet or getting it from the media gets confusing. The biggest problem is that it's all about what information is more novel or interesting, and not what is actually more practical. I would like to see all this information gathered into whatever is the most efficient way that can be backed up by scientific evidence, not "this just in, a new study shows that consuming large amounts of X is actually good for you."
