I'm actually finding more respectable science than I thought. My baseline expectation is that we don't know crap about diet, and very little about causes of any chronic diseases. Any decent research that ties interventions to cardiac outcomes, for example, is research I actually didn't realize was out there.

My basic reason for looking into this is that if a doctor tells me "you should be healthy by doing blah blah blah stuff we all heard about on the Today show", I won't do any of that, because I know they didn't give me any new information, even if we all *already* knew, say, exercise was good for people. So this is my way of convincing myself that what I know has changed, so what I do should change too.
