"THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM Last summer, Vogue magazine published its "Age Issue" with a cover story that got a lot of women talking. The story was titled "An Inconceivable Truth: The Link Between Infertility and the Environment." And it brought a host of facts and truths to light that many devoted readers of the magazine probably had never considered. We have long blamed women's infertility on timing matters—a woman who waited too long to have children or who cannot point to a medical condition and is thus somehow personally at fault." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"They'd like to interview you for National Geographic magazine." "What?" He shouted back. "They want to interview you for a magazine article. The National Geographic!" "Fine with me," Giuseppe snapped. "But if they want money, tell them they can go to hell." I blanched, but Maria and Giovanni burst out laughing. They understood their father's biting sense of humor, which was, I'd soon learn, characteristically Sardinian. I had some questions that Drs. Paul Costa and Luigi Ferrucci from the National Institute on Aging had given me to pose to centenarians." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Someone who is obsessed with looking at ecstatic females in pornographic magazines will be encouraged to bring the magazine to group. The need one patient arrived at was, "Be happy to see me, Momma." In this case, the boy had a chronically depressed mother. She was not happy to see anyone, but he felt something was very wrong with him that she showed no sign of joy when he was present. He saw great joy in the faces of the porno stars in magazines. No child is objective enough to see that it is the parents' problem. When we are young, parents are the whole world to us." - Dr. Arthur Janov, Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Get the book.)

"As science reporter Mark Buchanan wrote in New Scientist magazine, an increasing number of physicists and other kinds of scientists "believe that information is a kind of subtle substance that lies behind and beneath physical stuff."4 The study of information has spawned many new scientific disciplines, starting with cybernetics and advancing through systems theory, complexity theory, chaos theory, fractal geometry, and game theory, to name only a few." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"At the supermarket checkout you can thumb copies of a new lifestyle magazine, Diabetic Living. Diabetes is well on its way to becoming normalized in the West—recognized as a whole new demographic and so a major marketing opportunity. Apparently it is easier, or at least a lot more profitable, to change a disease of civilization into a lifestyle than it is to change the way that civilization eats. Ill GETTING OVER NUTRITIONISM one o ESCAPE FROM THE WESTERN DIET The undertow of nutritionism is powerful, and more than once over the past few pages I've felt myself being dragged back under." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"I'd just gotten a two-hundred-dollar check from a magazine for a piece on Werner Herzog. He explained that he received thousands of dollars a month from his "fortunate parent situation" on top of the five-figure advance he'd just received for his book on the fruits of California. As I started explaining how I hoped to interview him for this book, a hippy-dippy Moyle-type girl interjected, asking if either of us had ever tasted Scuppernong grapes. Of course, answered Karp, and went on to describe their characteristics and origin. " - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "His bylines in magazine pieces state that he "has been involved in agriculture since he was first spanked for tearing up the front yard to plant beans to bring to his new kindergarten teacher." Our first stop is his farm. After driving up a boulder-strewn path, he shows me a coffee bush, covered in red berries. It never occurred to me that coffee came from a fruit. Getting out of the car, Love explains that the hardened lava coating the island makes it exceedingly difficult to plant trees. To demonstrate, Love suggests we plant a lychee tree." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"In addition to its natural product offerings, Life Extension publishes a fantastic monthly magazine. For more information on Life Extension, go to www.lef.org or call 1-800-226-2370. Whole Grains Just because a bread, cereal, or pasta product is brown in color, don't assume that it is a whole-grain product. Check the ingredient list for the words "whole grain" or "whole wheat" to decide if they are made from a whole grain. Some foods are made from a mixture of whole and refined grains. Some grain products contain significant amounts of bran." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"It's a gift for an editor at Air Canada's in-flight magazine. Describing the pluots, and David Karp, and the bounty of fruit in Brazil, I pitch a story about exploring for fruits. She is blown away by the dragon fruit, and serves it to colleagues at their editorial meeting. A few days later, I get a call. They've commissioned a feature story asking me to follow the Fruit Detective on a fruit escapade. When I call David Karp to tell him about the story, he informs me that he is going to be profiled by The New Yorker." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"In the FDA's own Consumer magazine, Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of CDER since 1994, wrote that tight deadlines for drug approval were creating "a sweatshop environment that's causing high staffing turnover." The most dangerous consequence of these changes was that the number of drugs approved by the FDA but later withdrawn from the market for safety reasons increased from 1.6 percent of drugs approved between 1993 and 1996 to 5.3 percent between 1997 and 2000. Seven drugs that had been approved by the FDA after 1993 were withdrawn from the market because of serious health risks." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Wilson's book promoting the use of estrogen for women who had reached menopause, and the hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles that followed, had accomplished their mission. A DRUG IN SEARCH OF A DISEASE It was not, however, all smooth sailing in the business of selling eternal youth and femininity. In December 1975, two articles published in NEJM showed that estrogen therapy increased the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus (endometrial cancer), up to 14-fold after seven years of treatment." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "As Ernestine McCarren, general manager of Ehrenthal & Associates, an advertising agency specializing in direct-to-consumer ads, explained in an interview for a trade magazine, "We want to identify the emotions we can tap into to get that customer to take the desired course of action. If you can't find that basic insight, you might as well forget everything else." DISEMPOWERING THE DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP Advertisers know that their challenge is to evoke emotional responses that are strong enough to override traditional doctor-patient relationships. Does it work?" - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Doctors, researchers, and newspaper and magazine articles all told the same story: The scientific evidence is overwhelming that HRT will protect postmenopausal women's health and improve the quality of their lives. Hormone pills became the top-selling drugs for several years running—until it became clear that all the compelling science supporting the use of HRT was nothing but a house of cards. HRT not only doesn't decrease the risk of heart disease, strokes, or Alzheimer's disease—it increases these risks." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"He settled for an article in a women's magazine. Regardless, Oliver Cope ignited the controversy that led to the work of Bernard Fisher and his collaborators in the United States and Umberto Veronesi and his collaborators in Italy. In the 1970s, Fisher and his colleagues commenced randomized controlled trials of the various surgical approaches to the treatment of a woman with a palpable, cancerous, small (2 cm or so) breast lump but no palpable lymph nodes in her axilla or evidence of metastatic disease elsewhere. One trial dealt with the aggressiveness of mastectomy." - Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.)

"Reports on their use have recently appeared in Oncology News International, In Touch (a news magazine sent to more than 90,000 orthodox physicians), and in a national press release issued by Congressman Dan Burton, chairman of the Committee on Government Reform. Beard first proposed in 1906 that unidentified substances produced by the pancreas—which we now call pancreatic proteolytic enzymes—were not only key to bodily digestive processes, but they also protected against cancer. Indeed, Beard called them the main defense against cancer." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Trying to keep the story alive, I ask if he'd join me on a trip if the magazine pays for it. That changes everything. If they send us to Alaska to find cloudberries, he'll gladly do the interview He then tells me that he's already been written about in Seventeen, but that pubescent girls haven't yet started throwing their nighties at him. His favorite part in Lolita, he says, is when they cross the border into California and the agricultural officer asks if they have any honey. We end the conversation with him talking excitedly about cloudberry hunting." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"His mother was interested in natural remedies and sent him to a Homeopath she had read about in a magazine. His symptoms were related to over indulgence. Nux Vomica 30 CH, probiotics, fish oil and B12 with folic acid were taken. His diet was adjusted to include more fruits and vegetables, and to avoid deep fried and rich foods. Within one month he said that he felt a lot better. He only got pain occasionally. His bowel movements improved and he had no blood or dark stools. His heartburn had improved and he was feeling well." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Magazine ads for Lipitor leave you with the impression that if your cholesterol is even slightly elevated, taking the popular drug will save your life. But Lipitor is only approved by the Food and Drug Administration to reduce the risk of heart attack if you have multiple risk factors for heart disease, and its benefits are based largely on its supposed ability to lower cholesterol, which may or may not have anything to do with preventing cardiovascular events and death." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "Not long ago, a major national news magazine devoted a cover story to inflammation, calling it "the silent killer." Newer blood tests are beginning to measure inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and homocysteine in recognition that these are major risk factors for heart disease. Bottom line: The more natural anti-inflammatories we have in our diet, the better. Turmeric fits the bill perfectly." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Vexed by Variety I once created a full week of healthy, calorie-controlled, menus and recipes for a magazine. My directions from the editor were to use a wide variety of foods and make each meal and snack delicious and appealing, but also unique. When the article was published, my mom called me and said, "Wendy, it looks lovely but if I actually made those foods I'd need over 280 ingredients and I'd be shopping for a full day!" While the menus were what the editor wanted, I knew that they were not altogether practical." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Or the woman who "spaces out" when her husband is talking but has no trouble focusing on magazine gossip about E>rad and Angelina? Obviously, they can pay attention when they want to, right? Not exactly. If we were to look at functional MRI (f MRI) scans of the brains of these people — and scientists have—we would see distinct differences in activity at the reward center in each situation." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "Studies have shown that anxious people respond well to any directed distraction—quietly sitting, meditating, eating lunch with a group, reading a magazine. But the antianxiety effects of exercise last longer and carry the other side benefits listed here. 2. It reduces muscle tension. Exercise serves as a circuit breaker just like beta-blockers, interrupting the negative feedback loop from the body to the brain that heightens anxiety." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) "I can think of no better example of somebody with an exercise dependence than ultramarathoner Dean Karnazes, the forty-four-year-old Californian who has appeared on 60 Minutes, The Tonight Show, and countless magazine covers for his mind-bending feat of running fifty marathons in fifty days (in fifty different states). He also ran 350 miles without stopping. Only slightly less impressive to me is that over the past fifteen years, the longest period he has gone without exercising is three days. "I had the flu," Karnazes recalls. " - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"You Are Living Your Dream One day I was standing in the checkout line at the supermarket reading a national lifestyle magazine. The headline on the cover blared: "When is your ship coming in? The ONE WAY to find out what's keeping you from what you really want." Intrigued, I opened the magazine and began to read the article. In the very first sentence, the writer asked: What is the one thing keeping you from living your dream} It's a good question. It's a great question. But perhaps it's not the right question. First of all, what is your dream?" - Ray Dodd, BeliefWorks: The Art of Living Your Dreams (Get the book.)

"However, you had read a magazine article about a homeopathic remedy that suited you. It is called Natrum Muriaticum. It is suited to salt cravings, brooding, cold body temperature, thirst and constipation. It seems you were meant to read that article. You had taken the remedy as directed on the package and lo and behold, your bowels are moving every day. Some days you may miss the odd one but your bowels are on track! Autoimmune conditions are becoming more and more prevalent today." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"END BOX] A Closer Look at Nail Salons According to Nails magazine, a nail trade publication, nail salons are a nearly $7 billion industry nationwide, with at least 57,000 nail salons operating in the U.S. and employing 380,000 nail technicians, most of them young Asian and African women, usually immigrants, of an average age of thirty-eight years. Approximately 1,000 new salons open each year and most are small operators employing just two or three technicians." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"Strand in London when he spotted an intriguing headline in one of the capital's more controversial weeklies, a medical magazine called the Lancet. It described the successful use of a new and rather exotic medical technique to cure 'hydrocele' (a then common medical condition characterized by excessive fluid swelling of the scrotum). Our City gent was himself afflicted with hydrocele—hence his interest in the headline—and had recently consulted 'one of the most celebrated professors of surgery' about his condition. This consultation had left R.B." - Roberta Bivins, Alternative Medicine?: A History (Get the book.)

"In the September 2005 issue of Life Extension magazine, the foundation stated that "for those who find the new, unregulated world of genetically manipulated vitaminless vegetables unpalatable—or find that they don't want to eat vegetables that have absorbed . . . pesticides in the soil . . . high quality standardized supplements are one way of incorporating a standard amount of known nutrients in the diet..." But do multivitamins help? Large studies have shown that a multivitamin a day or taking a suite of individual vitamins does not decrease the numbers of infections that people get." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "Rodale, founder of Rodale Press and the magazine Prevention, was another advocate of high-dose vitamins for disease prevention. He died of a heart attack at the age of seventy-two. The US DA hedged its bets regarding vitamins when in 1941 it first came up with the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). The RDA determined how many vitamins and minerals we need to take in daily in our diets. (This is not to be confused with the food pyramid, developed by the USDA in the 1950s, which tells us how much of the different food groups, like fruits, vegetables, cereals, meat, and dairy products, we need." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)
