“These studies are revolutionary,” said Dr. Jules Hirsch, physician in chief emeritus at Rockefeller University in New York City, who has spent a lifetime studying the effects of diets on weight and health. “They should put a stop to this era of thinking that we have all the information we need to change the whole national diet and make everybody healthy.”
(Gina Kolata, New York Times, Feb. 8). On the other hand: Cathy Young (Feb. 17) says the new study may not after all prove as much as it might seem to.
