Don't get to excited about this article.  It is just a meta-analysis.  Second, they looked at BMI and BMI is a notoriously bad estimater of muscle mass versus fat content.  I am the perfect example, my BMI has me as obese, yet my measured fat % is 16%.   My read on this, is most of the individuals that are "overweight" are actually at a health weight with a higher muscle mass percentage not picked up with the BMI measurement.

Every child loves Halloween. It's always a fun time to go out in costume and get treats. If they are lucky they are bound to take home a bag full of candy. That is always good for the kids, but bad for their dental health. Taking care of children's dental health can already be a challenge for some without the constant temptation of sweets.

high dose vitamin E and vitamin C are found to be safe.  As always, the majority of these studies did not include pre-treatment vitamin assessment to ensure a metabolic need.  To much of a good thing can be a bad thing.  Also, higher dosing of vitamins approach a medicinal use and an associated increase in side effects.

To much protein intake can be a bad thing.  This study found that high protein intake and high protein/carbohydrate intake lowered basal Testosterone levels.

oral estrogen is a bad choice as it relates to BHRT or HRT for that matter.  Compared to transdermal estrogen, oral estrogen through increasing TBG and slowed liver metabolism results in decreased thyroid hormone production.  

Is all cholesterol bad?  Of course not.  We have got to get away from the linear thinking that plagues medicine.  This article proposes and supports  a protective claim of lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, Lp(a), and HDL.  Even shown to protect against bacterial, viral, LPS, and parasitic infectious damage.

This was the WHI review of data as it pertains to dementia and cognitive decline in women.  The take home here is that the data provides little evidence for premarin with or without medroxyprogesterone acetate in > 65 for prevention of dementia.  However, this is in women > 65 and studies show that younger women do indeed receive benefit, especially in those with early ovary removal.  Another point here, MPA (medroxyprogesterone acetate) increases cognitive decline.  Just don't take MPA, it is a bad drug all the way around!

Estrogen with progestin worsens cognitive decline in women >65.  Little can be taken from this study other than, medroxyprogesterone acetate is a bad drug and should not be given to women for any purpose, especially in those >65.  One wonders if bioidentical, physiologic hormone replacement would have the same effect?  I doubt it.  The likely negative impact of hormones on the brain in women >65 is due to the negative effects of MPA, the change in inflammatory cytokines, and the change in receptors.

This study cannot make the conclusion AT ALL.  They claim to say hormones should not be used to prevent chronic disease. Yet, the study they use to support this statement, the WHI, did not look at hormones.  The WHI looked at premarin and medroxyprogesterone acetate, a progestin.  They are not the hormones the body makes. Second, the WHI looked at women that were 6 years postmenopausal, on average, and then they added in bad drugs, disguised as hormone like, and then were dosed high.   If one desires to truly make a statement of prevention, one needs to pre-empt testing and therapy before disease.  Additionally, the study needs to match the hormones needed at the right physiologic level in the right balance.   One must also ensure proper hormone metabolism and know hormone receptor status.  This study does non of the above and the conclusion of this study is irrelevant.  In fact, I think the authors of this study have undergone scientific malpractice in their conclusions.
