Here's Why I Subscribe To Dr. Briffa's Newsletter

I don’t mind referring to scientific research where relevant, but I’m not of the mind that only things that have been ‘scientifically proven’ have merit. One reason for this is that there’s plenty of things that we might do in practice that appear to consistently help people, but have not been subjected to systematic study.
Those are his opening sentences in his most recent newsletter, and the newsletter itself discusses one of the things that some of us here on the board have been posting about, lately - namely, the worrisome tendency of the big drug companies to be very selective with the information that they publish, (the old "what they don't know won't hurt them" routine).
