Title: Framingham boredom
Product review: The book describes the large and very important Framingham study, that has provided much of the detailed knowledge we now have about the connection between lifestyle and heart and circulatory disease.The topic itself is an interesting one. The results of the study are so ingrained in everyday knowledge that most people are not aware that there is actually a source of this information. But there was a time where the connection between bacon and heart attacks came as a complete surprise.Unfortunately, this book is very poorly written, and does not do the topic justice. Most chapters consist of endless namedropping and neverending tales of internal battles in the administration of the study. Only a very small part of the book deals with the study, its results, and the further implications.
