Dr Brett Says: We keep getting told that saturated fat is the enemy despite a mounting body of evidence showing that it simply isn't the case. It is the high levels of sugars and processed carbohydrates that is doing the damage not the sugars!

Dr Brett Says: Once again diet is being shown to be a crucial factor in your health. People are often quick to blame 'chemical inbalances' without looking for the reason behind the chemical inbalance. Remember if you are going to eat fish stick to the smaller ones as they have less mercury.

Dr Brett Says: A classic case of the way research is often twisted to say what people want it to say. How can a study that shows that home births had better mortality rates (7.9 per 1000 versus 8.2 per thousand, not statistically significant but still less) be used to show the need to stop home birthing?
They have stated a couple of types of death that were more common at home but for this to be true there must also be types of death that were more prevalent in hospital, interestingly the AMA didn't comment on those and they dont appear in the article.

Dr Brett Says: Yet another medication is removed from the market because it has proven to do more harm than good.
