ScientificStudies on Nutrition

Posted by: Kimber Fitzmorgan on February 7, 1999


Can anyone tell me how to find scientific studies on nutrition/macrobiotics and its effect on health?

I have looked through The Cancer Prevention Diet by Michio Kushi, and Doctors Look at Macrobiotics and found the evidence to be somewhat weak. What I tend to find is anecdotal evidence (a personal testimony based on a single case). While I do not doubt the veracity of these cases, they are only based on one person's experience. I am looking for studies based on large patient populations. Any ideas?

Incidentally, NIH has a whole office devoted to Alternative and Complementary Therapies: http://altmed.od.nih.gov/nccam/

The American Cancer Society also has some information at: http://www.cancer.org/alt_therapies/overviews/
