Men who drank a 12-ounce sugar-sweetened beverage a day had a 20 percent higher risk of heart disease compared to men who didn't drink any sugar-sweetened drinks, according to research published in Circulation, an American Heart Association journal.So what do you suppose the chances are of the AHA changing their low-fat/take statins recommendations?

Childbirth: Small Babies May Weaken Mothers’ Hearts
Women who had had small babies were at about twice the risk for heart disease as those who had not, the researchers found.I really like this bit:
The study could not explain the cause, but Dr. Bukowski said one possible factor was that delivery of small babies is associated with a reduction in placental hormones that stimulate blood vessel repair.Honestly. Must you say something? Can't you just post your results?
This data points at an underlying illness not some direct cause.
