The new issue of Newsweek has a great article about nutritional and diet studies. This article discusses how often important details, which are sometimes burried or simply don't fit into a 30-second newsbite, are not communicated by the news media. Therefore the information that is passed on can be misleading.

You can view the article on Newsweek's site.

Whenever possible, here at NetSweat, we try to find the original source of the study and provide a link to it. Unfortunately, this is not always the case - as occurred with the study about child obesity rates. Therefore, we encourage everyone to do their own research and speak with their doctor about any questions they have concerning their diet.
