As an American, you have a right to good health care that is effective, accessible, and affordable, that serves you from infancy through old age, that allows you to go to practitioners and facilities of your choosing, and that offers a broad range of therapeutic options.

I'm still not comfortable recommending that people eat saturated fat with abandon, but it's clear to me that sugar, flour and oxidized seed oils create inflammatory effects in the body that almost certainly bear most of the responsibility for elevating heart disease risk.

The usual justification for eating extra meals is that it keeps the metabolism revved up so that weight loss is easier. There is, however, very little hard evidence that supports this idea, and a fair amount that disputes it.

To be clear, I worry as much about the impact of the Internet as anyone else. I worry about shortening attention spans, the physical cost of sedentary surfing and the potential for coarsening discourse as millions of web pages compete for attention by appealing to our base instincts.
