Medical News of the Obvious
You know a study's obvious when the news article covering it begins "Just in case the world needed more evidence on the matter..." We totally second the HealthDay reporter's opinion, and welcome her to our subspecialty of journalism. The link between exercise and good health--most recently and most frequently uncovered by the Archives of Internal Medicine--has become such a MNO staple that we're considering banning it from our coverage. If even HealthDay knows it's a given, perhaps we need to devote our energies to highlighting some less-obvious obvious news.
