study finds breathing key to good health

"TORONTO - Beer, a health food? That's what some Canadian researchers report. A study from the University of Western Ontario finds a brew could be good for you. The researchers say beer has antioxidant boosters that could help fight cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

But the key is moderation. The researchers found three beers would have the opposite effect.

The study was funded by beermakers Guinness and Labatt. But the university says the financial support had no influence on the outcome."

low ebb

some odd national poll results over at talking points. almost looks like nader is taking votes away from the republicans among likely voters. it would be quite humorous if the republican efforts to use nader against democrats came back to bite them in the electoral college.

no dupes we

the media must be suffering from all sorts of dissonance over the soon to be released kitty kelly tome. theyre trained to get frothy over inconsequential prurient behavior but not when its from a republican, much less one who is a sitting president. check out this laughline from media notes. just like the swifties, right? oh, but you were chasten, no doubt.

"ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said the book "obviously would be subjected to serious scrutiny" before the network reported the allegations, "and if we had the author on we would ask her very probing questions." CBS has not booked Kelley. She is tentatively scheduled to appear on CNN's "American Morning" and "NewsNight With Aaron Brown."

blogs save mankind

"Pho’s oasis is his Web log (www.kevinmd.com/blog), a place to express his opinions, clarify his thinking, or argue a side in any number of debates on current medical topics.

It is also part of a small, but growing, trend: medical blogs where doctors or other health care professionals vent their frustrations, summarize key points in new studies, or correct distortions that find their way into the popular media."
