Consumer Reports On Health (1-year auto-renewal)

As a health professional in Nutrition, Regeistered Dietitian practicing in the Community Nutrition field, I thought this "magazine" would be full of up-to-date information. Rather I received an eight page "newsletter," written at a fourth grade reading level. Everything written in the articles was old news. It was way overpriced for a product the size of my weekly "Church Bulliten."

As someone who is not a registered dietician, but who values good health, I have found this magazine to provide great, up-to-date information. I have given it as a gift a number of times, because I have found it to add quality to my life, and hope that it will to others' as well!

Nowhere more than in the US is this kind of publication desperately needed what with all the doublespeak, pseudo-science and borderline-illegal/unethical claims being made in advertising, advertorials, product placements etc.

For me, I almost feel like I'm working on even footing against the marketing of health-related products by subscribing to this report. Without it, I'm lost at sea.

Read Best Reviews of Consumer Reports On Health (1-year auto-renewal) Here

I am a longtime subscriber to Consumer Reports and I also subscribe to the website and also to the online consumer reports health. This adds up to quite a few $ per year and I feel I deserve all their content. Recently I have received a direct mail ad for OnHealth, which is a print product. The ad shouts the tabloid glaring headlines we associate with sleazy operations. It is also impossible to tell the relation to the online health site; is it the same content? And if not, why is significant health information being witheld from my $19/year online subscription?

CU used to be a quiet and conservative organization. A few years ago they took on some marketing advice and became much more aggressive about selling their content six ways from Sunday. I am a supporter of the mission of CU and understand they need to seek revenues. But I am dismayed by the loud, vulgar advertising and the attempts to sell overlapping content. They have become a little too much like all the quick-buck companies they criticize.

I received these as a gift from my mom. I will say that I am heavy into alternative health.

A lot of the information in these reports goes along with mainstream medical information. If you already

receive or read about it online, then this type of reporting probably is not necessary.

The quality of the reports is about on par with local newsletters and magazines that I get for free

at the grocery store.

After having read some of the contents of the reports I will say that they tend to disagree with

alternative medicine newsletters on certain issues and of course it appears that these newsletters are probably

either in the pockets of big pharma or are just repeating common medical knowledge which tends to be in

the pockets of big pharma. So I'd say it is a hit and miss of good and possibly slanted information which is not necessarily good for you, at least in my opinion.

Although I guess if you hate reading at a computer and your grocery store doesn't carry these types of

magazines, and you are not into mainstream medical care, then maybe you might like these. I still think

there are better options out there. My mom apparently likes these.
