just two of the phrases that keep me from reading magazines such as Prevention and Reader’s Digest.  Maybe if they put more energy into writing decent articles for their magazines, they wouldn’t have to fill up the pages with nonsense crap about how a “recent study” revealed this or how “30 years of research” indicates that. 

I read magazines for entertainment and to be informed; if I want to read about science experiments, I’ll peruse a medical journal.
