"The antidepressant Prozac and related drugs are no better than placebo in treating all but the most severely depressed patients" reports a science news service.  Says the UK's The Guardian, "When all the data was pulled together, [including studies suppressed by the manufacturer,] it appeared that patients had improved - but those on placebo improved just as much as those on the drugs."

Good riddance.

Six years ago, the first blow was dealt: A New York Times piece dared to ask, What if it's all been a big Fat lie?  It came after more than a decade of banning all fat, including those now recognized as "heart-healthy," like almonds, avocados, & olives.  Gradually, we began to realize that *some* fats were okay: namely, unsaturated ones.  Then, they started to tell us that butter was better than margarine.  Now, the truth is coming out that it's trans fats & partially hydrogenated oils that are killing us.  We're even realizing that saturated fats are not the devil - Crisco & margarine are.  After decades of trial, most fats - the natural ones (butter, lard, coconut oil...)  - are finally exonerated.

Did I just say lard?  You bet I did!
