John Tierney wrote an article in today's New York Times science section about the science behind political health policy decisions, citing New York mayor Michael Bloomberg's initiative to cut the nation's salt consumption in half. Tierney expressed concern about the lack of randomized control trials as evidence that cutting salt so drastically will have a health benefit. He also expressed concern about what happens to science when a health policy seems to declare a matter closed. See what others have to say here.
