If you care enough about your health to be reading up on the latest research, you are unusual.
Most folks don’t bother. Either the studies seem “boring,” or they say things people don’t want to hear. (You need to exercise! Stop smoking and eating so much junk food! A six-pack before dinner every night is NOT a smart idea!)
So normal people are quite skilled at ignoring research they don’t like. Diet Blog readers, however, may be puzzled as to how to do this. We like science - though sometimes inaccurate, it beats superstition and wishful thinking. And usually the latest research is on our side: it says that we’re doing smart healthy things and are going to live long happy lives.
But what do we do when a truly perplexing and dispiriting study comes out? For example, let’s say new research says: “That Supplement You’ve Been Taking Might Give You Cancer Instead of Preventing It.” Or, “The Meditation You’ve Been Forcing Yourself to Do for Twenty Years is Useless.” Or, “Diet Soda Will Give You Heart Problems.”
How do you keep such news from Messing With Your Head?
