Re: finding scientific nutritional studies

>>For those who regularly keep up with research,

Where is a good place to look for scientific studies on nutrition? Can this

be done online, and, can it be done for free, rather than on a database that

membership is needed for?

----->chris, here's one online source where you can view abstracts for free:

http://www.nutrition.org/

And here's a page full of links to online nutrition journals from around the

world. most should at least provide free abstracts:

A great starting place would be a scientifically-oriented company like RJR-

Nabisco. They have a huge resevoir of scientific peer-reviewed articles

that prove just how healthy smoking tobacco is for the ordinary human.

Another place to examine might be the Monsanto database where they prove,

quite conclusivily I imagine, that toxic chemical agricultural sprays

actually enhance human health.

Or, you may want to get in touch with Mcs as I understand they have

many, many scientific papers (peer-reveiwed of course) that prove their

fast food is the key to strong bodies, long life, and superb health.

I would stay away from sources like the Journal of the American Medical

Association as I understand the editors took a survey several years ago

wherein 40% of the scientists submitting papers admitted they took

gratuities from the makers of whatever drug they were reporting on.

There are certainly many more sources of " scientific " studies than I have

mentioned. I understand a fairly good summary is given in a recent book,

" Toxic Sludge Is Good For You. "

As you may have surmised, I don't trust " scientific " papers. There is too

much chicanery in the field. Just think back to the 40 year campaign to

malign butter and BS us into buying all those crappy butter imitations.

There must have been hundreds, if not thousands, of " scientific " papers

proving that we should eat such junk. " Scientific " research is a nest of

liars. Stay with people like Professor Albrecht and you'll have a chance

at finding truth.

If anyone wants a real giggle they can go to and subscribe to

the Quackbusters email list. Of the six or so who post regularly there is

not an original thought among them. If it hasn't been " proven " in an

" evidence based " study and published in a peer-reviewed journal and PubMed

it doesn't exist.

If anyone is silly enough to join this bunch let me know and I'll re-sub and

help you harass them.

Not one of them can take an over-all look at the picture and make a decision

of their own. When I posted links to well referenced articles they screamed

and yelled because " I " did not post references. I just told them that, in

case they hadn't noticed, the article was well referenced and there was no

need for me to recreate the wheel.

I would get them going by telling them that my studies were what I saw

around me in everyday life. Especially the low-fat diet. I have had to sit

by helplessly and watch friends and family members fade away and die after

their doctors " laid down the law " and told them to go on the " healthy " diet

or else!

Enjoy! ;-)
