...editors: Re: “The Uninformed Vote,” editorial, Nov. 15. You are correct in your claim that costs should always be taken into account when evaluating measures to reduce such things as greenhouse gas emissions. To not keep these considerations in mind is foolhardy. Nevertheless, I do not believe that your editorial accurately connects the reality that costs should be considered with your final conclusion that the emissions reduction ballot initiative is unwarranted. It is not necessarily the responsibility of the Environmental Action Committee (EAC) to come up with an accurate final cost for this project...

...School of Public Health (HSPH) study­—the first to examine the long-term effects of low carbohydrate diets—has found there is no association between such diets and an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). The study, which appeared in the Nov. 9 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, relied on data collected from HSPH’s Nurses’ Health Study, a sweeping project which collected data from over 120,000 women starting in 1976. HSPH researchers also found that there was an association between a lowered risk...

...These are our questions. We believe they deserve serious and detailed answers from both Harvard and the City. Mary Power’s assurance that “trees do eventually have health issues” doesn’t work for us. SARAH SMITH KEVIN WHITFIELD Cambridge, Mass. Nov...
