Interesting. Even more interesting that in the same magazine this summer 
(Aug 19th, 2007) Scientific American published an article (Can Fat Be 
Fit?) that refutes most of the arguments they made in the original June 
2005 article!

Some consistency of reporting from the same magazine would be nice - 
another example of the media confusing a critical public health issue.
