RealAge and magical foods debunked

I should probably mention, while I'm doing a little review here, that my eat-more-veggies plan for 2007 is pretty much a miserable stinking failure. Just so you all know. Mock me if you will. But maybe going from 0 to 1 per day right on up to 5 per day was too much a shock to my system.

BUT!

I've mentioned it before and I'll probably mention it again:

I love this blog.

I especially love a good debunking of pseudoscience and pop nutrition..

Here's just a snippet to whet your appetite:

"The large EPIC (European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition ) study of nutrition and cancer conducted in 8 countries among 285,526 women, ages 25-70, recently reported that after 1.5 million person-years there was no relationship between breast cancer and total or any specific fruit and vegetable consumption. Harvard School of Public Health researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association the results of an analysis of 13 prospective studies of more than 725,000 men and women followed for 6 to 20 years which found no association between dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables and grains and risks of colorectal cancer."

Here's another good article from the NY Times, too. (Thanks for the link, Pem!)
