The "news" is condensed and designed to catch the eye. One must follow up by reading further.
There are several good websites with health and medical information; the Mayo Clinic and NHS are reliable. Lancet and New England Journal of Medicine are two of the peer-reviewed medical journals; there are many others publishing medical research.

Never depend upon blogs or recommendations posted in Mudcat or other talk or gossip "BS."
And listen carefully to the recommendations of your physician.

People like Songwronger are dangerous.
Mudcat does a disservice by permitting him to post his alarmist, ignorant bilge.
