Believing what you read about preventive medicine in popular women's magazines can be hazardous to your health. A review of the July, August and September issues of 10 such publications reveals not only that the health "advice" is a distortion of scientific reality, but that the disinformation about health is sponsored -- through advertising -- by the manufacturer of the leading cause of death.
The science of disease causation and prevention -- epidemiology -- is neither new nor mysterious. Medical books state that about two million Americans die each year, and some one million of those deaths are preventable (that is, premature). Half of the preventable deaths (500,000) are caused by cigarette smoking and an additional 100,000 or so are the result of alcohol misuse and abuse. Most of the rest of the preventable deaths were caused by violence, drug abuse or failure to use life-saving technologies like seat belts, smoke detectors or tests for the early detection of disease.
