In this age of information explosion, the reporting of medical research breakthroughs to the public often creates conflicting headlines. We wonder whether we're getting the best care, the newest medicines, and the most effective treatments for whatever it is that ails us. If you've been looking for one source you can trust for the most accurate, up-to-date health and medical information, Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld's Breakthrough Health is it. In this volume, the first in a yearly series, America's favorite doctor describes the most important, up-to-the-minute medical discoveries in a convenient, easy-to-read format. Dr. Rosenfeld treats his readers as if they were his own patients, explaining in simple yet concrete terms everything from Alzheimer's disease to vascular disease. He distills the most relevant information from piles of research only a doctor could understand. For example, are you aware that there's a common, over-the-counter drug that may help prevent breast cancer? Do you know about the blood test that can indicate vulnerability to heart attacks and stroke even when all other predictors are normal? You've heard that eating fish reduces your risk of heart disease, but does it really contain too much mercury? You'll find the answers in these pages, along with many other safe, practical, bottom-line insights--advice that will help you live a long and healthy life.
