The main point of this article is to inform the reader about research being watched by Harvard Health Publication regarding the benefits to an individual’s health from eating peanuts on a regular basis, why women fall and the symptoms of a heart attack in a female. I was interested in the symptoms of a heart attack for a woman as the problem I intend to work on is increasing awareness of these symptoms to the public. The author is not a medical professional and is relying on data that was provided by Harvard College. The audience for this article is any consumer. This article is supportive to my overall article that women need more education on symptoms of a heart attack in a female which vary from that of a male. I find the source very useful as it follows my personal research through a family member who had a heart attack. I found this source at the Rio Salado Library under the article database for medical.

    In “The American Paradox” by Michael Pollan, Pollan states that there is something wrong with how Americans think about eating today. He claims that Americans are more focused on listening to confusing and contradictory dietary advice about healthy eating from nutritionists, food marketers and journalists that we are neglecting the food from our culture(s). I agree with Pollan’s claims because cultural eating is healthier than following the advice of experts. I also agree on his claims that these experts are giving confusing and contradictory dietary advice.…

    The backlash from these claims by medical professionals, women’s groups and feminists led to the U.S. National Institutes of Health to conduct a major randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effects of hormonal therapy and heart disease in 1998; hormonal therapy had been commonplace for decades by that point (Voda & Ashton, 2006).

These findings were part of a tumultuous shift in menopause management with changes in NAMS (North American Menopause Society) recommendations.

Part of the reason is that previous to industrialization, many of the foods we consumed, such as dairy and wheats were not as extensively processed and were more natural.…
