As regular readers of this blog may have noted, I have an issue with misleading health headlines. Last night’s report titled: “No Cancer Benefit Found In Mega-Veggie-Diet Study” (WSJ) or “No Cancer Shield found in Fruit and Vegetable Diet” (NYtimes) is a perfect example of how a headline doesn’t tell the actual story.
Perspective from headline: eating lots of vegetables has no impact on any kind of cancer.
Better headline from blog posting reporting same article: “Fruit, Vegetables Don’t Prevent Breast Cancer Recurrence”
