Reviews For Tennis Life Magazine


Timely and Unbiased

Remember those exposes on the content of a Cinnabon bun? Or a serving of Kung Pao chicken? This is the newsletter that broke those stories. Published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, this small newsletter (10-20 pages) is packed with info and *no ads*. Each issue has a cover story (for example Cancer, Does Fat make you Fat?, Nutrion and Aging, Which Vitamins are right for you, etc.) which gives high level statics and attempts to divide myth from fact based on interviews with respected experts. Most articles are accompanied by a table of comparisons with nutritional information with their recommendations marked as "Best Bites" (recent reviews include ice cream, peanut butter, vegetables, etc.). There is a regular column with recipes and the back page features two new products, one healthy, one not. Well written unbiased timely reporting on nutrition. What more can you ask for?

Loyal subscriber since 1974

According to my economic ability to do so, I have subscribed to this magazine since 1974 without any problems. Over the years, it has influenced me and my family to eat more vegetables and to be leery of the advertising on food packaging. I have learned to read ingredient labels and enjoy the latest scientific information about food without the usual bombardment of advertising, as this magazine doesn't accept advertising. What you get is approximately sixteen pages of articles and news items. It includes such things as recipes for making healthier sandwiches, which frozen foods are healthier among certain brands, specific brands to avoid based on lack of healthy ingredients, and occasionally recipes. Some months the main article is totally engrossing; sometimes it is less interesting, but the interesting articles make subscribing worthwhile.

A Newsletter for the Little Guy

Nutrition Action is an excellent source that is willing to to provide accurate and informative information based on science and not corporate PR. The magazine has on many occasions been at the forefront of informing consumers what is and what is not working. In example, we've all heard the adage to drink eight cups of water today. NA found no study to support this claim. Vegetables ward of cancer? Not necessarily so in most cases NA announced. Looking for in-depth analysis? Its here. Looking for a synopsis? It's here to. Each article provides a summary, key findings, and the specific actions you can easily use.

Condensed Information

New subscribers might be put off at first by this anorexic-looking little newsletter until one realizes that the publication contains no ads, just pure, unadulterated information.

This newsletter from the Center for Science in the Public Interest is not for the casual reader. Readers who care deeply about proper nutrition won't mind reading a lengthy feature article rich with information and the latest findings.

Also included in the newsletter are snippets of recent studies and information about specific brands and food items.

I like the comparative charts, often a full page in length, comparing breads, cookies, snacks, yogurts, fries, or whatever food is featured that month.

The price for this publication is not exorbitant, and one who subscribes is also supporting the the watchdog pursuits of the CSPI.
