The major concern I see with too much testing if it involves radiation or some other potential harm such as a colonoscopy.

I recommend one of my favorite podcasters who is a cardiologist who does short programs on the latest research for wellness. Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn.

Less information is better than more information if the "more" information is either a load of crap or gives false information.

I take it the medical school YOU went to did a very poor job of teaching nutrition, since you must have first hand information to make that sweeping claim.
