I've caught of few issues of Nutrition Action over the past few years, and I've always found it to be incredibly informative and sometimes pretty witty (plus getting 10 issues for $10 makes it a no brainer). The cover story of the latest issue tracked a recent study of the health effects of red and processed meats. While this particulary story wasn't all that ground breaking, I'm always intrigued by the data that lies behind the claims. This study found that people who eat the most red and processed meats have higher rates of heart disease (no surprise), certain kinds of cancer, and even diabetes.I've been pretty impressed with the organization that puts out the monthly newsletter. The Center for Science in the Public Interest seems to do a good job of reviewing the available research and being upfront with potential flaws or conflicts of interest. The video below outlines their goals and progress over the last 30+ years.
Nutrition Action is a great way to keep up with the latest scientific studies concerning health. At about 16 pages its a quick read and there aren't even any ads!
