Onwards, then, I'll follow you into the breach. Funny thing: I had the Sears post open and was about to read it when I checked over here for updates. I go in forewarned and forearmed.

didn't let this on, can't imagine why:
I'm always skeptical of someone who comes up with or uses terms like toxic fat and silent inflammation and then offers the cure to it all if we just follow him to his website, his diet, his suppliments. I also find the idea of all pain being caused by inflammation. I somehow missed that when I did my master's thesis on chronic pain. Here I thought it was something like this: "The International Association for the Study of Pain (2008) defines pain as “unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage” (para. 33). An alternative and perhaps more scientifically precise definition of pain is offered by Pujol, Katz, and Zacharoff (2007): pain occurs in the brain and is the perception of nociception, while nociception is defined by Turk and Melzack as the processing of sensory stimuli which can be experienced as pain. These modern definitions of pain incorporate the biopsychosocial model of pain, so that from a current perspective it is impossible to perceive of pain as solely a physiological response" (Wombles, 2008, p. 7).
But, I'm not a doctor with my own site and a cure for all that ails people for sale, either. Silly me.

Here is my attempt. We'll see if it posts.
"It might be easier to take this seriously if every single link did not point to the main page of the author's commercial website.
It would also help if the author did not begin the article with misinformation about the H1N1 flu. It is still spreading and could easily become pandemic. Luckily, this strain does not appear to be as deadly as originally feared. However, it will continue to be a serious health concern for some time.
Also, the argument that most of the deaths from the 1918 pandemic were from pneumonia is misleading. According to the National Institutes of Health, "The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs." In other words, the pneumonia was caused by the virus.
I am sure that the Zone Diet is fine (assuming it provides balanced nutrition). Combined with healthy exercise it is probably a good plan. I am all for cutting refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup."
