Had to share this wonderful op ed from the LA Times . It's about the need for better reporting on breast cancer (and other health risks). It addresses one of my pet peeves with the media, too: reporting relative risk--for example, people with genetic mutation X have a 500% greater than average risk of dread disease Y--without comment on absolute risk (which could be miniscule ... thereby rendering the 500% odds quite a bit less frightening).
