For over five years, through the HSI e-Alert, Jenny Thompson has been uncovering important health information and exposing ridiculous health misinformation to an eager audience who simply can’t get enough of her insightful commentary. These are defiantly not the stories you see covered in the mainstream news.

And Another Thing represents some of the best of Jenny’s e-Alerts from over the years. You will find essays in this collection that will have you laughing out loud in amusement and others that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.

When Jenny Thompson started writing the HSI e-Alert five years ago, she never thought she would find something to write about every day. After all, it’s health. It isn’t the stock market or Hollywood, where something juicy happens every few minutes.

Boy, was she wrong!

Between the covers, you'll get:

* The truth about what’s really contained in commercial milk (and how to avoid it without giving up milk products)

* The placebo myth (those “inert” sugar pills used in clinical trials often contain much more than a pinch of sugar)BR>
* The surprising techniques used by drug company salespeople to manipulate doctors (and that manipulation is often more than welcome)

* How the medical mainstream jumped through hoops to put a positive spin on study after study that revealed the grave dangers of synthetic hormone replacement therapy to address menopausal problems (all the while, of course, effective natural therapies have been available...without the dire side effects)

* How the subsidiary of a well-known drug company knowingly sold contaminated blood plasma overseas (and nearly got away with it)

And that’s just for starters.

Whether you're a long-time e-Alert reader or if you just started reading it, you’ll find "And Another Thing" to be full of fresh insights, as well as misdeeds that will set your blood boiling and even offer a few hilarious moments from over the years.

About the Author:
Prior to joining the Health Sciences Institute in 1998, Jenny Thompson worked with several other membership and health-based organizations. She was fortunate to find an opportunity to combine her experience in both of those areas with her passion for writing. Today, she works closely with the team at HSI to uncover important health information and expose ridiculous health misinformation, most notably through the HSI e-Alert. She lives outside of Baltimore, Maryland with her husband, two dogs, and an authentic Ray Lewis helmet.
Review:
The eletters from Jenny are superb, so informative, I have a file of nearly all her articles, what a treasure. --Jacob Bender
