Take everything you read about health with a grain of salt.

With for-profit medicine, the only thing that matters is profit, not your health.

An article about bariatric surgery being beneficial, sounds to me like it just might be an advertisement.

Anything invasive like surgery IMO should be a very last resort, when absolutely every other safer alternative fails.

An article about the benefit of statins could be advertisement for statins.

Remember, the grain people conducted the carefully biased study that told us fats were bad for us, presented it to the AHA with a more than generous donation, which is donated every year. Sounds like an advertisement to sell grains to me.

Just because it's in print, or on video, doesn't make it real.

And that goes for diet books, too.
