eople are relying more and
more on health newsletters
for advice. Here's a quick
survey of the publications:
People's Medical Society
Newsletter: Published bi-
monthly by the People's Medical
Society, a nonprofit group in Al-
lentown, Pa. Membership costs
$20 annually, which includes a
subscription to the newsletter.
Write to People's Medical Society,
462 Walnut St., Allentown, PA,
18102 or call (610) 770-1670.

News Service.
it often does not reveal the
sources of its information, so it's
difficult to evaluate the reliabil-
ity of the articles in the newslet-
ter.
• Nutrition Action Newslet-
ter: Published 10 times a year by
the Center for Science in the Pub-
lic Interest, a nonprofit group.
A subscription costs $24 a year.
Write to CSPI, 1875 Conn. Ave.,
N.W., Suite 300, Washington,
D.C. 20009 or call (800) 237-4874.
Assessment: Generally, the ma-
terial is timely, well-presented
and easy to understand. Includes
info on tasty yet nutritionally
balanced recipes and good ideas
for healthful gifts. Overall, I
think it's worth the money.
