Why Soy is Bad for You - Optimum Choices

"Soy is a hidden ingredient found in many processed foods. It is used to extend fast food hamburgers, added to most supermarket breads and found in many dry kibble pet foods, even the premium brands. You will find even higher levels of it in the foods in health food stores, where it is promoted as a heart-healthy, cancer-preventing, menopause-alleviating ingredient."

What Really Makes Us Fat - Gary Taubes, New York Times

"The fewer carbohydrates we eat, the more easily we remain lean. The more carbohydrates, the more difficult. In other words, carbohydrates are fattening, and obesity is a fat-storage defect. What matters, then, is the quantity and quality of carbohydrates we consume and their effect on insulin"

The not-so-long run: Mortality benefit of running less than 20 miles per week - Michael O'Riordan, theheart.org

"But certainly, it looks like you get the benefits at relatively low, modest amounts. If you shoot for superhigh amounts of running, you're certainly not getting more benefit, and it actually appears from our data that you could be getting less benefit."
