        Public Health Perspectives

Today's site, from the Public Library of Science, offers thoughtful appraisals 
of public health issues from a regular group of committed scientists. Gentle 
Subscribers will discover interesting and compelling reports on a range of 
medical topics with a public health focus.

"Preventing Disease, Prolonging Life and Promoting Health" - from the website

This frequently updated science blog covers diverse health subjects geared to 
the concerns and interests of the general public. Recent reports have 
considered the effects of food stamps on the overall health of low income 
families, an innovative way to burn more body fat, and social conditions with 
an impact on health and disease from a global vantage point. Spruced up with a 
modest selection of graphic elements -- photos, charts, and pertinent diagrams 
-- the blog offers at times eye-opening insights on rarely reported subjects, 
for example, microbes with both pernicious and beneficial effects.

Swing over to the site for thought-provoking analyses of a variety of public 
health topics at:
