Interesting Science/Medicine Blog

I don't know if this blog is well known or widely read, but I have been reading some articles on it lately that I've really been enjoying. It's supposed to be written by a cancer surgeon and it takes on a lot of the pseudoscience/ "quack" doctors/nutritionists etc; shows how their work is iffy or bad science. I'm not enough of a scientist to really know if what I'm reading medically is true but I do love the very simple explanations of logical fallacies in certain arguments. If you're a natural skeptic like me you might like to take a look.

I found this article reviewing the "live" raw vegan diet particularly interesting:

Like I said I'm not a scientist and not looking for a debate, I just thought there might be others here who would like to check this out. If you're into the raw food or other related diets, more power to you. I don't know enough medicine to argue a point either way.
