Ridiculous Study of the Week
Somehow this is news:
Women who embraced a healthy diet after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes had significantly lower rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than did those with a bad diet, in a large observational study with up to 26 years of follow-up.
So, to summarize, a healthy diet is good for you. And a bad diet is, well, bad for you. Did we not know this? And someone got funding for this?
Isn’t there a pill or shot that will do the same thing for me?
I guess I’ll take the contrary opinion. I don’t have a huge problem with this study. It’s good to see something confirmed that we all intuitively felt was good advice. We give all kinds of advice about things that later turns out to be wrong, so even though this study seems superfluous it’s nice to know what I am telling diabetics is true.
In other news, it got cold this winter, and meteorologists project hot days this summer!
