		<description><![CDATA[
&quot;...Dr. W. Gifford Jones of Toronto says that the ferritin levels of people living in East Finland happen to be much higher than those of North Americans. “Our levels of serum ferritin are in all probability not high enough here to trigger heart problems,” he claims....&quot;

Oh please.  This &quot;doctor&quot; is not a cardiologist - and his syndicated newspaper column is more &quot;infotainment&quot; than serious science.  This is after all the guy who advises us to eat more rare steak, who claims that tortilla chips lower cholesterol, and that (on the basis of just one individual optometrist&#039;s very unscientific observation) that massive doses of Vitamin C reverse atherosclerosis.  

Where is that Media Doctor Canada website when you need them?

Surely if, out of a sense of journalistic fairness, you wanted to include a balanced perspective to the Finnish study (which appears to be bona fide academic research compared to what Gifford-Jones spouts), there MUST be actually credible clinical sources to quote out there besides G.J!!!!

Otherwise, this Finnish research sounds compelling and makes sense!  Thanks for this.

		<description><![CDATA[This is so interesting.  It shows how a simple deduction (heart disease rates increase at menopause - so it must be hormones!) can be re-visited by other scientists who come up with completely different causal theories.

Always educational and thought provoking info here. Thanks - well done.
