Clinical Focus: Wearables and Trackers, Part 1
October 29, 2015
A revolution is underway in wearables and trackers. We can now monitor and score our exercise, our blood pressures, our caloric and macro- and micro-nutrient intake, our blood sugars, our heart rates, our sleep duration and quality, even our sexual activity! What are the pros and cons? On the one hand, we have a wealth of information we can use to set goals and motivate ourselves; On the other, all that self-awareness might be burdensome. Or might "paying it forward” with exercise engender other less healthy behaviors via “moral licensing?” Should we be turning sleep into a competitive activity? Do we really need to stand up and walk around every time our Apple Watch pings us with an alert? What are the device options, ranging from the simplest to the most complex? What are the advantages and drawbacks of the Apple Watch? How do devices that offer wrist pulse measurement compare to devices that use traditional chest straps to record heart rate? Which devices are submersible? Which are stand-alone, and which require pairing with iPhone or Android devices? We cover Apple Watch, Garmin, Polar, TomTom, Mio, Fitbit, Jawbone, Basis and more. Should you go simple and cheap, or expend big bucks for an all-purpose professional-quality tracker? Bottomline, you can’t have it all, and there’s always a trade-off in selecting a device that’s right for you. Click HERE for part 2.

Meat and Cancer, Part 1
October 27, 2015
This just in: World Health Organization warns "bacon, ham and sausage as big a cancer risk as smoking!” And even non-processed meat should be consumed in moderation to reduce risk. What’s the truth behind these far-reaching public policy recommendations? Nina Teicholz, investigative journalist, author of “The Big Fat Surprise,” weighs in with her interpretation of the controversy. She argues that food recommendations are based on shoddy science, and are rife with bias from a scientific community still infatuated with the now disproven low-fat paradigm. Mere population studies are prone to error, and many policy makers discard evidence that supports the safety of saturated fats and cholesterol. Ms. Teicholz has recently stirred up a ruckus with a controversial article in the British Medical Journal questioning the influential Dietary Guidelines for America (DGA), currently under review. A careful examination of the history of American dietary fads suggests we may be in for a serious course correction when it comes to recommendations about fat and animal protein intake.
