The Missoula Public Library has five health newsletters in the magazine collection. These are the Harvard Heart Letter, The Harvard Women's Health Watch, The Johns Hopkins Medical Letter: Health After 50, The Tufts University Health & Nutrition Letter,and The University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter.
All of the newsletters are 8-page monthly publications that cover a wide-variety of timely health topics. High-quality information that is authoritative and scientifically tested is offered in brief articles that are well-researched and understandable to the layperson. Questions from readers are answered and sources, citations, and web sites are available. Among the hundreds of recent articles in these newsletters you will find articles of COPD, fibromyalgia, the safety of cholesterol-lowering statins, risks and benefits of hormone therapy, Vitamin D, the use of magnets for pain relief, dementia-related agitation, breast cancer screening, what "1 serving" of various foods should look like - hint: 1/2 cup of fresh fruit is equal to 1/2 of a baseball - and macular degeneration. These newsletters are "highly recommended for public libraries" as reviewed in Magazines for Libraries and are available for your use at your library.
