The Worst Ingredients On A Food Label
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): This is a man made sweetener that is cheaper to produce and actually sweeter than sugar. There are actually new commercials touting how healthy HFCS is. They are trying to say that it is safe and natural.
Let me ask you this: Can you squeeze corn syrup from corn? Can mom make high fructose corn syrup at home? NO! It's a lie! Remember the quote above? HFCS is anything but natural and will actually shut off your hunger mechanism allowing you to eat without feeling full which will MAKE YOU FAT!

Does the public over-biologize mental illness?
I definitely think that there are biological causes to some mental illnesses and that drugs are a necessary and useful tool in many cases, but it seems like the general publication has, in large part, latched onto the "it's a chemical imbalance / it's just like diabetes" thing over-zealously and in a way that ignores both the environmental/cognitive/behavioral/etc factors that can contribute to and trigger mental illness and the success of CBT and other therapies in treating a lot of mental illnesses and other issues and in treating symptoms and improving quality of life and functioning even in disorders where me...

Has multivessel angioplasty had it's day?
There has long been an argument about pci with the modern era stents and drugs versus cabg in patients with multivessel disease and diabetes but perhaps the Freedom trial (NEJM 2012 doi:10.1056) lays this to rest where patients with multivessel disease and diabetes had better mortality and fewer CVS events at the expense of more strokes. It doesn't necessarily help with the individual patient as I have a 42 year old man with 3 vessel coronary disease and lv impairment who is insistent on pci over cabg.

Medicine vs. Pediatrics
Hey guys,
Wanted to ask your opinion on medicine vs. peds. I just recently finished both my medicine and peds rotations and they have been my favorite rotations thus far, but I wanted some advice, particularly from those who have gone through the process, of deciding between the two.
I'm hoping to go into either adult heme/onc or peds heme/onc; I also am considering immunology and ID.
Overall, I think that medicine is more interesting in terms of the analytical approach coming up with a differential but I generally like working more with kids.

ALTITUDE Autopsy Shows What Went Wrong With Aliskiren
In its short lifespan the direct renin inhibitor aliskiren (a.k.a., Rasilez or Tekturna) rapidly declined from being a highly promising, first-of-its kind drug to a major failure. The death blow was struck last December with the early termination of the ALTITUDE trial, after the data and safety monitoring committee found an increased risk in patients taking aliskiren. Now the final results of the Aliskiren Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Using Cardiorenal Endpoints have been presented at Kidney Week 2012 in San Diego and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Few questions about podiatry
I've recently become very interested in podiatry and have been reading through the "true stories from podiatric residency" thread. I noticed a lot of stories about getting called to the er to respond to foot traumas; things like gsw's and fractures. These things are very cool to me and one of the reasons I think I would enjoy the work. However, those type of things seem to overlap a lot with orthopedic surgeons. What factors decide if podiatry or ortho get called to foot trauma? Is it possible/common to work in a hospital where these injuries are always left to ortho?
There seems to be an overlap in other areas...

Lay perspectives on hypertension and drug adherence: systematic review of qualitative research
Conclusions Non-adherence to hypertension treatment often resulted from patients’ understanding of the causes and effects of hypertension; particularly relying on the presence of stress or symptoms to determine if blood pressure was raised. These beliefs were remarkably similar across ethnic and geographical groups; calls for culturally specific education for individual ethnic groups may therefore not be justified. To improve adherence, clinicians and educational interventions must better understand and engage with patients’ ideas about causality, experiences of symptoms, and concerns about drug side effects.
