thank you & Christine for posting this. I've been wanting to read a thoughtful, cautious, scientifically-based response to the new guidelines.

Thank you - hope it's helpful. C gets all the credit for this one (I just bugged her w/ additional links to check out for two days). :)

Yes, thank you so much - I have tagged this for careful reading later. I *think* I understand the science behind the new recommendations, but I'm still having a hard time with "but isn't earlier better?"
- Catherine Pellegrino
Yes, thank you! What I heard on NPR was really confusing and this really helps.

This is a very good post. I admit I had a very serious WTF reaction to the new guidelines, but this article does a great job of separating the science from the hype/fear and holding both up to the light to be examined.
