Hi Tom,

At first I thought you were joking about a study funded for Dragon Boat racing until I scanned the link. I don't understand why they continue to fund studies where we already know, based on empirical observation, prior studies and experience, that physical exercise is beneficial in the prevention and management of disease. I'm not sure what they hope to achieve by doing studies to confirm what is already accepted by most.

I think dietary studies are probably the most difficult to design. With macro-biotics, you really need to customize the diet for the individual which can be problematic in the design and evaluation of the study. Diet is just one aspect of healing and most studies do not have a holistic approach.
