Subject: RE: BS: Obit & Debate for Swine Bird Human flu victims
It's amazing! Many people seem to believe what they say on CNN and Fox News.
The yellow sheets-tabloids and fakirs are alive and well on cable and the internet.

A couple of days ago we received a communique from a relative, supposedly an article on cancer and diet from Johns Hopkins Univ. Medical section.
It looked wrong- checking at the Johns Hopkins website found nothing like it. Today we found a Scopes article showing that the report was phoney, not from Johns Hopkins at all.

[We read two of the articles on the Johns Hopkins website; one recommending a diet heavy on proteins and carbs for children receiving chemotherapy because they lose their appetite, and including items like peaches and cream. It included recipes for things kids like and will tweak their appetite. The other related to diet in breast cancer- normal diet, with the usual proviso of low-fat, as they recommend for everybody.]
