When it does discuss straight health or medical issues, p Tony Cappasso writes for Copley 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.
