Each week, Dr. Peter Janiszewski selects several notable posts from Health and Clinical Research. He blogs at Obesity Panacea.
Here are some of the past week’s most intriguing discussions:
- Allison of Dormivigilia discusses new research which suggests too much ice cream may be bad for your brain, and we’re not talking brain freezes either.
- Euan Lawson of Northern Doctor’s Antidote points out how much error is associated with the measurement of blood pressure – quite a bit!
- Ever wondered what all the controversy surrounding artificial sweeteners in weight control is about? Travis Saunders thoroughly dissects the topic over at Obesity Panacea.
- Are you intolerant to gluten? Many are forced to follow a strict diet to avoid issues associated with the condition. However, new research discussed by Michael Long suggests a new treatment may be just around the corner.
- And finally, John Wayland takes his readers on a fascinating journey through the history of smoking bans and the anti-smoking sentiment.
