Letters from our readers.(sharing)(Letter to the Editor)
BN is my favorite mag because its clearly written and based on studies. Look at "Good News" as an example of what I mean. But, c'mon guys and gals, what's with the wild health claims without proof?
Take "Get Smart" for example in the January edition. Good summary of the "use it or lose it" advice borne out by studies. But why do you have to tack on a box listing vitamins implied to feed your head? Where is the proof that any one of these supplements will have any impact on intellect or memory? Almost everything in this box of "facts" has been disproved by studies.
Conveniently, some vitamins are listed as being required for the brain because "a deficiency has been shown" to affect mental ability. The unspoken fact is that no deficiencies of these nutrients has ever been reported in the medical literature in modern times. Good job persuading readers to run out and buy vits they don't need.
This is not BN's usual standard, and it shows in a number of areas. We're expecting better science.
