Editor’s letter
That quick health
fi x is… in you!
Every week, via email, I see a barrage of new products and
treatments, each promising to be the elixir of health and
happiness. But based on evidence? As regular readers of
Prevention know, all of the information we publish in the
magazine and online is grounded in solid science. And
making sure that claims stack up is part of what we do
behind the scenes. So, when something new comes across
my desk, I always challenge the evidence. I’m curious to
probe into how robust, or fl imsy, the assertions are.
This month, I scratched my head at a new ‘health’ tea
that claimed all manner of potential benefi ts for women.
And, yet, a quick look at the major study it had based its
facts on turned out to be only on men. Ethical? Hmmm.
But, by far, the standout health hype I saw this month
was a novel vitamin supplement that said in fi ne print
so small that you’d need a magnifying glass to read it:
“We cannot guarantee any results.” Say what?
The moral of the story is that, if you’re searching far
and wide for quick health fi xes, you’re looking too far.
More often than not, it’s right in front of you. Take, for
example, this month’s story on the gut microbiome
(see page 80) – that curious fl ora you harbour in your
belly that weighs more than your brain. Years of research
suggests that the gut microbiome plays a key role in
your feelings. In fact, most of your happy hormones are
produced in your gut and then travel to your brain.
Feeding this good gut bacteria is a key reason to eat
well. So, this month, we also show you how to set up a
