Today's NYTimes has an excellent article about how doctors and public health officials reach a wrong consensus on health topics, in this case "are fatty foods bad for you." The article talks about the cascade effect whereby doctors get on the bandwagon with a medical theory and will be ostracized if they dissent.

Can you furnish the title of the article? Here is the health section of the NYT

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/health/index.html

*******
Sarno-ize it!
Read chapter 4 of Dr. Sarno's "The Divided Mind." Also chapers 3, 4 and 5 in Dr. Scott Brady's "Pain Free For Life" are very important.

The article is called "Diet and Fat: A Severe Case of Mistaken Consensus. Here's a link to the article: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/09/science/09tier.html?em&ex=1192161600&en=53bfd0df7f448ca4&ei=5087%0A

It was quite an interesting description of how the medical community sometimes forms opinions and then rejects other ideas.
